Depends on how long I'm sick. If it's for more than 3 days, then I'll go to the doctor to get checked out.
 
Depends on how bad I get sick, there was a few times I was glad I went and others I know I just needed to stay home.
 
Depends on how bad, Most cases I just rest and sleep and have my eyes closed and take pills to ease of the pain ;)
Hours later I'm all better again, well days later.
 
I'm rarely sick! The worst time I was sick (besides being diagnosed with cancer) was when I had a bad cough for over 2 months. Coughs usually last 21 days on average anyway so I decided to just ride it out since it wasn't getting worse...it was just not getting better. I didn't go to the doctor for it and when I think back on the timeline, the reason I couldn't get better was because my body was busy trying to fight the cancer that was within me so it had no energy left to fight the cough.

Normally I don't go to doctors for small sicknesses because I bounce back quickly anyway.
 
I'll go to the doctor if it is something that doesn't get better in a few days. In case it is something serious it is much better and easier to treat if it is caught earlier and not let to get worse.
 
I came down with the flu and thought it was covid. I spent most of my week sick at work. They weren't just going to let me leave. I ended up calling in on my last day., Friday, before the weekend because it got bad. I called my boss and they told me to go get tested for Covid. I went to a clinic and got tested. My test came back negative. They tested me for Influenza. It came back positive. They told me to go home and rest. So I did. Today I'm much better.
