Fever and staying home from school?

[ILWF?]

Today I woke up with a fever of 102.5. I waited ten minutes and took it again to see if it had lowered after being awake for a little while. It had gone up to 102.8. My parents had me stay home from school since the fever was so high, and I was also alternating between being cold and hot, coughing, and my nose my stuffed up.
I took some ibuprofen around two hours ago and my fever had reduced to 100.5. Should I stay home from school again tomorrow just to be sure or what?

yes you should. Just to make sure because having a fever at school sucks.
