See your Dr.: You need to see a Dr. in person to get a note excusing you from work, though if you have a regular Dr. who you see he or she might be willing to provide a note if you talk by phone. If you don't have a regular Dr. go to an urgent care. center. No one here can give you a note. This is a viral illness, I advise Umcka, available at health food stores, rest, fluids and Vitamin C 1000 mg 3-4x/day.

Dr. exam, then note: A doctor can write a note after doing an in-person exam. Generally, doctors do not write notes such as work-excuse or school-excuse notes, or back-to-work or back-to-school notes, without an exam. That is because a doctor's note is his written, signed, professional opinion, on whether a patient can or cannot do a particular activity. An in-person exam gives confidence to the doctor's opinion.
