To call in sick with a cold?

[WhoeverYouWantMeToBe]

Feel pretty shit today. Blocked nose, hoarse and croaky voice, sore throat, chesty barking cough. My job involves a lot of talking on the phone which is putting a lot of strain in my voice making the cough worse. I work with lots of other people around me. Would I be U to ring in sick tomorrow if I feel no better? I always feel awful for calling in sick (which is pretty rare!)

YANBU at all, hope you feel better soon!

I'm guilty of going into work with bad colds/coughs. I've had days where I really shouldn't have left the house and feel bad that I'm exposing others to it, but I'm not entitled to sick pay among other things so I tend to go in unless it's completely unavoidable. If I was, I would definitely stay off with a bad cold.
