For the past about three days I have been sick from school. I feel tired all the time and I have a constant headache. My headache is usually worse right when I wake up from a nap it takes me 15 minutes for me to get up from my nap becuase my head hurts so bad. Also today so far I haven't had a very good appeite. Usually when I wake up I"m ready for breakfast but today I don't even feel like any candy from halloween. Also yesterday I experienced a sore throat going off and on throughout the day. I've had a cough really bad for the past few days also. So far I haven't noticed any fever but I do go through phases where I get really cold and then I feel better. I don't want to have to miss any more school! What do yoiu think I have? I don't remember feeling this bad with the flu or with any colds.

IF THE HEADACHE IS FROM A FEVER, THEN IT MAY BE THE FLU, HOWEVER YOU REALLY NEED TO GET SOME MEDICAL HELP, ASAP.

I don't mean to sound alarming, but you could have meningitis. Do you have neck stiffness? A rash anywhere? You really should go to the ER, or at least call them. If you do have it, then it's very, very important for you to get treated. Or you could have the flu, each time you get the flu it's a slightly different virus and can therefore have different symptoms. Chances are it's just a regular cold or flu virus, but sometimes it's better to be safe than sorry. I hope you feel better soon.

It sounds like the flu but could possibly be strep infection. Let the doctor diangose you & possibly give you an antibiotic. Try to get in touch with a classmate to get homework & work on it when you have some feeling better moments. Go to the dr & get better real soon!

Sam,
You might really want to see a Dr about this. Yahoo Answers will not substitute for a Dr. If I had my guess, I would guess MONO. They need to do some blood work and get to the bottom of your problem. Get an app't today!
I take it no matter how bad you felt yesterday you went trick-or-treating anyway? You see you might be making something worse...so really get to the Dr and they will find a reason for your symptoms and then tell YOU what you should and should NOT be doing.

Go to the Dr. it sounds like it could be strep and you will need an antibiotic. Headache, naseua and sore throat are all symptoms of strep.

that's probably what it is though, it's that time of the year and viruses are going around...give it a few days and you'll feel better.
