O.k. My best friend just called me and told me her mom is reallllly sick and that she can't come to school because it's contagious. I'm worried because she said that when her mom and her went to the hospital( it's that bad), that they had a 2nd waiting room made because they ran out of room in the old one. I'm worried because something is going around school, too, so I'm freaking out because I started coughing and it sounded like I was coughing up a loung! Anyway, now my throat is verrrry soar and it's been over 3 hours sence then. Should I be worried that I might be cathing this and what should I do to prevent it from getting worse. THANKS!!

Also, she said that it was like the flu or something like it.

sorry, you are screwed! you have the flu. Go to the doctor right away, they have a new treatment out now that helps you get rid of the flu faster, but you have to start taking it the day you start getting the flu, maybe a day later, but not much longer after that. It is highly contagious, so be careful around others!

There is not much you can do about it. You should find out what disease your friend's mother has and if your symptoms get worse go to the doctor

I'd call your Doctor - some docs even have a 24hr service. Good Luck
