To call in sick tomorrow

How sick would you have to be not to go into work?
I've had a temperature and sore throat but no sneezing or nasal congestion and stomach is fine.
I just feel rotten and tired. I will need to drive about 2 hours to get there and 1 to get back.
I started only a month ago and I'm uncomfortable calling in sick.

Just take paracetamol and get an early night. You may feel better by the morning.

are you safe to drive.

If it was something that could be helped with a couple of paracetamol then keep topped up during the day, which what you've described is, then no I wouldn't call in sick.

I think so

I wouldn't call in sick unless on my deals door that early in your employment. Hope you feel better in the morning

I had these symptoms for 2 days and woke up yesterday with a horrible cold Hmm

I would go in and make sure to take paracetamol regularly and drink plenty of fluids-and have a bubble bath and early night tonight!

That's really helpful to put it in perspective, thanks.
