Sometimes: But ask yourself how sick you truly feel and see a physician and determine how contagious you are and the two of you will arrive at an answer that is best. Feel better!

Possibly: The Flu can cause one to become very ill. With both Flu and the common cold you need to weigh in the fact that you might infect others.
