Informed my manager I have a cold and I was called back to work in 2 days despite my symptoms have worsen. Is this appropriate?

For context, I work with children and I caught a bad cold and told my manager that I won’t be coming in for the rest of the week, since I don’t want to spread it to the kids. From experience, my cold usually lasts for at least 1 week. On my 2nd day with a cold, my manager asked me to come back tomorrow. I don’t think my manager is horrible or anything, but this seems to be inconsiderate towards the health of the children and mine. What are your thoughts? And what would you do?
