My determining factor is if I have a fever or not. If I have a fever, I have no choice, I stay home regardless. Fortunatley, that doesn't happen very often. But, on the other hand if I have other problems that I can't be away from the house for very long, I'll stay put awell.
Most of the time, if I have a cold, I go to work. Knock on wood, I haven't had my yearly Spring cold yet. I've been taking claritin to help with that, and it seems to be working nicely. It's just in the Spring and Fall when I get my seasonal colds. So the doctor said to try taking Claritin for a while til things settle down. Then I can stop. I don't take it in the summertime.
