Coughing uncontrollably every 2 minutes?! That's really serious...you gotta take a rest. It's worth it. Don't mind what your colleagues tell you...if you really don't feel well...then give yourself a break!

No I dont think so, the only reason you sould not go to work is if you are throwing up or something....I usually cough uncontrollingly every single day, even if Im not sick, every hour, about 20 times in a row, has been the same all my life.

I think that if you company offers sick time and you feel bad enough, then take a day. That's what it is there for. Also keep in mind if you go to work while your sick and your colleagues catch what you have, you might be the one working while they're resting at the house!

You have a certain amount of sick days every year, if you feel like you need to take one then do so, however usually a cough can be controlled through the day with a non drowsy cough suppressant.

Not to mention that you can get everyone in your department sick too!
Many companies are starting to realize that this costs them more in the long run - and YES can negatively impact the public's perception of them! (I wouldn't want you to help me!!) Even if you are over the phone, I wouldn't want to ask you questions, because I wouldn't want to make you cough.
Go home - take some medicine, drink lots of water - when you feel better (or at least aren't coughing) go back to work!

I would take off sick. Not only are you probably not performing as well as usual do to being sick, but you are putting other employees at risk of catching your cold. Who cares what your colleagues say. If you feel terrible...go home and rest.

Take some cough syrup and see if that helps any, if not you should go home and get some rest you don't want to cough at your customers and make yourself feel worse than you do.

Take some pocket tissue and wet whipes and go ahead and carry on but coughing alone is fine.
Unless your really bad off or work in food service you can go to work

If you are coughing on customers, you should be staying home from work. If you have sick leave available, it's a good time to use it.
