It depends on what you mean by a workout!. If just going to PT for some basic exercises, you should be fine!. Although if you are sneezing, coughing, running a fever, having excessive post nasal drip etc, it may be best to stay home and avoid getting others sick!.

However, if you have to do a full blown cardio workout with heavy lifting, this may tax your immune system and you may, in fact, feel worse after!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
