Drink LOTS of hot beverages . Soups, tea ...
Stay away from chocolates, they're not good for you when you're nose is stuffed up . They don't help your singing voice, either .
Dress warm ! Always .
Don't take it too rough .
Blow your nose when you need to ! Don't sniff it up so it doesn't drip .
Don't overwork yourself . Stay away from sick people .
" Starve a fever eat away a cold " -- well , the quote goes something like that .
Wearing hats and warm socks help your body heat stay inside your body ...
andddd don't forget to take lozengers when your throat is clogged up or you could have a glass of water with lemon in it .
[ no , not lemonade . that would be bad ]
okay good luck !
the same thing happened to me . i was sick during my auditions . luckily, my teacher gave me another chance when I got better .
Feel better !

You should be better in a week, so there's not much to worry about, but you don't want to prolong your illness.
Drink plenty of fluids
Get as much bedrest as you can
(Take Zicam or Cold-eeze and you'll be better in less than a week)
Take some lemon juice before you sing- I had to do the same thing when I was sick for a performance. I sang softly or mouthed the words for the chorus songs. I had my full voice for my solo song.

attempt boiling uncooked ginger (once you're courageous, upload garlic!) for a jiffy then drain the liquid right into a huge mug (protecting out the ginger). upload honey to style. this might help your chilly and sinuses and you ought to get returned to tasting till now too long. playstation : upload the garlic in case you relatively can no longer style something! it's going to truly help and it purely isn't bitter to you. :)

take a large dose of vitamin c, like 1000 mg. this is supposed to shorten a cold by a day. vitamin c is a water soluble vitamin so it will not build up to toxicity, so, you can take it everyday safely. good luck with your audition!

9 days? It will go away on it's own by then!
