Is a sore throat a good enough excuse to call out sick?

I work as a behavioral technician for a school middle school where my job is to act as a aid and help student stay on tasks. I started this job about 4 weeks ago, but the last two days I have felt like crap. My throat hurts and I can barely talk or swallow anything without severe pain. Plus I was up all night due to my sinus being clogged. It’s just a bad cold but when I was calling out sick my boss told me a sore throat isn’t a good enough excuse to miss work. I feel guilty for missing work within my first month of starting.
