take some vitamin c supplements and suck on some zinc lozenges. if you're religious, pray so that you'll feel better by tomorrow (or at least for a few hours so you can attend the party).

From the intial sounds, you are coming down with something and going to the party will make other ill, if you don't have a virus; please don't spread your bacteria to your peers and friends.
You may be coming down with sinus infection or the flu, the sore throat is caused by constant drainage and could possibly become infected too and lead to strep.
The soreness in your neck is either from sleeping irregularly (your congested) or it is your lymphs swelling which is a sure sign of illness coming on.
You are most likely past Airborn or Zinc tablets with Vitamin C remedies.
Drink fluids, rest and monitor for a fever, if one comes on...go to the doctor and get some antibiotics.
Good Luck

Take some pain meds for the sore throat and for the stuffy nose use some Sudafed or a nasal spray. Sounds like you have a cold starting so pick up some zinc lozenges tomorrow or Zicam nasal spray and use that.

no, but you can cover it.
I want you to drink 4 glasses of water, if you have a tep don't take aspirin. the temp fights the disease. Take medication for your nose (decongestants) before you go to the party, not before and take a hot shower and put a hot towel on your neck to help the stiffness and soreness.
Also, for your throat use menthol cough drops, and gargle salt water once every three hours. and don't eat dairy.
you have to drink a lot of water. not juice, its too late for Vitamin C or minerals, and the excess sugar will only feed the infection.
notify me if it works.

Depends are you running a fever with a sore throat that is painfull to swallow? if so then you probably have strep throat. If you have a scratchy throat and runny nose then you probably have allergies. Take some OTC stuff you will be fine. If you have a low grade fever and other symptoms you probably have a viral infection and they have to just run there coarse.

No, your toddler would be ok. do no longer take something on your chilly without consulting your scientific expert. I had 4 little ones and not fails... continually had a chilly or flu. i became into in ordinary terms in a position to take Tylenol. Get some relax, eat some poultry soup and drink orange juice and a superb type of beverages. get extra advantageous!

Pray, keep your fingers crossed- & get LOTS of sleep tonight. If THAT doesn't work- don't go to the party tomorrow & "share" your "gift" illness with everybody else (or that may be the LAST party you get invited to for a LONG time). Good luck, & hope you feel better soon... :)

Try drinking tea with a bit of lemon and honey. Or you could go to the chemist and get something not quite sure if it will clear it up overnight though. Goodluck
