How long should I stay home from work with a sore throat?

If I cannot afford to stay home.

If you have a sick day then take it, other than that if you can’t afford to lose any money then you have to stack up on the meds and tough the work day out. If you aren’t a medicine taker then I’d say lots of vitamin c and airborne. Wipe down everything you touch, wash your hands often, drink lots of water🙏

I would not stay home beause of a sore throat unless I had a fever too.

Would you go back to work the next day if your throat was still sore?

yes, I used to go to work sick all the time. i got no sick time so i had to practically crawl in sometimes. Once I sprained my ankle in the morning and i stood on it all day. By the time i was ready to go home my foot was so swollen i could not get my boots back on. When I got home my wife could not believe what it looked like. My toenails were black. I had to get up the next day and do it all over again.
