Airlines allow you so many sick calls before being fired (6 in a year is typical) but one sick call can last as long as it needs to...days, weeks, or months but it's still only one sick call.
Where people get in trouble is they call in sick, start to feel better, go back to work the next day. The stress of work reverses their recovery and they call in sick again...that's two sick calls.
Once you call in sick, don't come back until you are 100% sure you're recovered.
