So it's "Suck it up" time tonight.
While it's commendable to want to work when ill, this is a problem with illnesses like influenza. When you cough, sneeze, or place your hands on items that will be in contact with others (doorknobs, telephones, etc), you are transmitting the virus to the unsuspecting. It is much better for you to stay at home until you are not likely to be contagious. For swine influenza, the recommendation is 7 days from the onset of symptoms, or 24 hours after you no longer have any fever, whichever is sooner.
You can always ask your employer. Would they prefer to have one employee absent for a few days, or several other employees absent in a few days when they come down with the flu, having contracted it from you.
I hope you get better soon.
