well, thing is, today i missed school because i came down with a cold, and for the past week or so, i've been having problems with speaking, my voice was really raspy and now today i cant speak; when i do its really difficult to.
i think i might have laryngitis, but if my voice is the same tomorrow, should i go to school or not?

missing the start of schoole is rubbish, you miss out on the best desks, the first few 'relaxed' lessons and you'll have a hard start the more catching up you have to do.
If it's just your voice thats a problem & you feel fine then you should go. Laryngitis isn't usually much of a problem, I've had it & felt perfect, just not been able to speak!
If you have a cold though and feel unwell then you should recover before returning or you'll probably just get worse having to move around so much.
The best was to get rid of a cold is to stay hot. Put on a wooly jumper and warm trousers and socks and then get into bed with a big duvet & blankets. You'll feel worse as you'll get really hot and sweaty but by the next morning your cold will be gone if you can endure it. our normal temperature is about the maximum viruses & bacteria can endure so it should help your immune system loads.

1] temperature over 99.9 by mouth = stay home
2] vomiting - stay home
3] diarrhea - stay home
4] very drippy nose [ continuous, not just blowing every 15 minutes ] - stay home
5] continuous coughing - stay home
Everything else should be managable at school.
a] bring packets of tissues, and a plastic bag to put used ones in [ if no trash can ]. Clean hands with sanitizer after blowing nose.
b] bring hard candy to suck on for coughing. Cough or sneeze into your elbow or armpit.
c] drink, drink, drink, - enough so you have to pee every two-three hours

No. Stay home until you are a little better. You're just going to pass this cold around to half the school and staff.

I don't know what your disease is, but no. Go to a doctor! I came home earlier today (won't say why, but i lasted half an hour). And i went to the doctors. SEE YOUR GP PEEPS! They're there to help!

No, you should go see a doctor instead or just stay home and wait for it to go away

maybe you should see your GP - he can confirm whether it is that or not. I know that there have been a lot of viral infections going around so could be that or if you have puss at the back of your throat you could have tonsilitis!!!

ideally you should consult your dr for a check up since it might be rather complicated!nothing to worry but it might interfer with no school + no going out with friends etc etc........ if it just a 'break' take care eh!
