Ok, im in high school and I started to get a sore throat last night. Then today I woke up at midnight with an extremely bad headache, sore joints, sore ribs, and painful eyes. My mom wont fore me to go to school but I'm wondering If i should go and be miserable all day, or stay home and let my body heal.

Stay home - you'll just spread your flu germs to everyone else around you if you go.

Something that comes on that quickly is usually the flu. Take your temperature. If it is over 100 you have the flu and definitely should stay home. With your sore throat symptoms, you could also have strep throat or tonsillitis, and need to see a physician for antibiotics. Have your mother look at your throat, if it is extremely red and covered with white patches, ask her to take you to be seen. If you have strep you are highly contagious and need to stay home from school. Untreated strep throat can be very serious and lead to complications.

Stay home and watch "Ferris Bueller's Day Off."
(I think I spelled the title correctly.)
