Should I call out tomorrow?

I just checked my underarm temp and it's 98.1 and my mom who's a nurse told me always add a degree so that's 99.1. I otherwise feel ok I'm congested and tired because I didn't sleep well and my asthma acted up today (usually only when I have a cold) but nothing bad. I had to call out two days last week due to med side effects and I really don't want to call out again but I do work with kids. I have a whole birthday weekend ahead my boyfriend planned. I just wish there were easy answers.

You should get a COVID test. You should not go back to work until your fever is gone and you have tested COVID negative.
