I woke up today with a migraine, dry cough and a fever of 100.3 farenheit. My employer strongly discouraged us from calling out the day after Christmas and I already know one coworker who did because she's still travelling. I feel absolutely miserable, have been sleeping all morning + am so cold! My shift is short, only 4-9:30 and I live a block away from work so it's not a big commute.

Do you guys think I should call out? I'm scared they won't believe I'm actually sick. My gut tells me to just suck it up and go for my shift but what if I get somebody else sick?

Update: Fever rose to 100.6 even after taking acetaminophen so I called out.
