Answer 1

You probably have strep throat. tell your mom, you won't have fun on your school trip b/c u will be miserable BUT you mite be able to have fun on your family trip if u tell her now. The antibiotics work in about 24 hrs.

Answer 2

sound like you are getting sick. Unfortunately you are to young to drive to the store. I use Zicam when I feel a cold coming on. It helps reduce the cold and has actually stopped me from getting sick on several occasions. Ask your parents to take you to get some. It comes in different forms so just pick the kind you are more comfortable taking. I preffer the mint flavored oral mist.

I have actually woken up with a sore throat and started taking the Zicam immediately and the next day I was fine. I always get strep throat and the Zicam has really helpped out alot.

Answer 3

well it's too late for that. If your throat hurts every time you swallow, you more than likely have an infection of some kind. now, you could go on being miserable and untreated, (which I really don't suggest, especially with a flight to Vegas...! Ouch!) or, you could try and hide the symptoms(Not!) and wind up IN THE HOSPITAL. either way your summer is ruined. However, it's better to recover from an illness as quickly as possible than to drag it out and make it worse, unless there's something you're hiding....

Answer 4

FIRST !!!!! Tell your parents about your illness. I am NOT a DR. However, On occasion a sore throat can be caused by something as insignificant as sleeping with your mouth open and just getting dehydrated. It sounds like you should have it checked out by a DR. waiting to long to get meds (if you need them) will ruin your Family Vacation anyway. Because you may not even be able to go. On occasion drinking a hot cup of water, lemon, and honey (sipped slowly) will soothe a sore throat. It also will give you some energy. Check with your MOM or your DR. office BEFORE you take ANYTHING!

Answer 5

It sounds like allergies, stuffy nose..Benadryl children's chewable tablets at bed time. (I'm an adult and use them, so no offense)
It the allergy world we call this Post nasal drip, it causes a super sore throat.

Strep throat is going around in Anaheim, you may have caught that from someone or something. Make sure you wash your hands often, cover when you cough and sneeze. (Use your arm not your hands to catch the germs) Wash!!

Do you feel hot? You might have a temperature. If so maybe you need to seek dr. help.

Good luck.

Answer 6

strep throat, go to doc, he with give you erythromycin (or however it is spelled) and it will be gone soon, it is contagious, and nothing to mess around with. Look at the back of your throat, do you have white spots on your tonsils? that is strep throat. Have fun at Knotts Berry farm, it is soooo fun.

Answer 7

Tonsilitis...strep throat....any white bumps on your tonsils? If so, only an antibiotic will cure you. Sounds like you got an infection, and it is getting worse. Sorry, hope you feel better...p.s., it's also contagious if someone drinks after you, or you cough on them.

Answer 8

Could be strep throat, have your parents look to see if they can see any white stripes down your throat. Feel better soon.

Answer 9

don't drink anything cold. it does sound like you're beginning to get sick though.

Answer 10

It could be your own ignorance trying to choke you to death.
