I do this all the time. And then I find myself annoyed when coworkers take a day off with no guilt attached. It isn't healthy. I've been getting better at it but it is hard. Just remember that you are doing no one any favors by sharing your germs with people. And you will heal much faster if you take a day to yourself. They may have extra work for one day, but it is doubtful you are as productive as you would normally be if you tried working sick. If you don't abuse it, no reasonable person will care.
