Do you think its okay to skip school this long?

Hiya. I've been suffering this intense cough for near on a week now and so I've been taking time off school until I feel better.

But I fear that a week might be too much. I just wanted to get someone's opinion. Xxx

Health comes first.
Go to the doctor if you're unsure, they'll probably tell you if you need to rest and for how long, might also tell you to take something that'll make you feel better.
Contact a classmate and ask for their notes. It'd be a good idea to know what you're missing out, even if that means going through them the night before you return to school.
I hope you get well soon!
