How many days should you stay home with the common cold?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stay home w/cold?: There is no discrete directive that one has to stay home when one has the common cold. Of course, if you are having fevers, body aches and pains and unable to carry out your usual daily activities due to these symptoms, visit your doctor for exam and recommendations.
