Answers:
Sadly if Mom says you go to school, you really have to go!. Moms can be nasty like this!. Do you miss allot of school that she doesn't believe you!?
Did you mean sour throat or sore throat!?
Honestly, when my son was in public school and said he was sick, I always let him stay home, because he almost never missed!
There are two things, as a nurse, I would recommend for you!.
First, fluids!. Lots of them!. Especially water, if you don't have an upset stomach!. Do not drink water if you have a stomach ache!. Water is actually an irritant to the stomach! However, in general, water, and OJ!.!. lots of orange juice!. You would not believe how health orange juice is!
For the aches and pains, try ibuprofen!. This is an excellent anti-inflammatory/ pain reliever!. Again tho, it can irritate the stomach, so if your stomach is off, stick with Tylenol!.
Don't forget to wash your hands after you wipe your nose!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Heres the trick!. I know where I live if only go half the day you won't be counted absent!. So when I have a cold I usually just go through like 2 periods then call me parents to pick me up!. It's better if you actually go to school then leave real early!. Or if you can afford missing the day, just stay at home!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't know your district policy, however at my high school, if you go to school ill, then go to the nurse with a fever or something contagious enough, they will require someone to pick you up so other students don't get sick!.
So go to school, then if you are still feeling bad, go to the nurse and see how it goes from there!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would stay home!. If i went to ur school i would so not want ur sickness!. Also if it makes you feel better eat ice cream!. That helps out alot!. After a few days i would try and get some exersice (not that ur fat) because your muscel is used to being active!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sounds like the flu to me - do you have a temperature!? If you have a temp, you should stay home!. If you don't, sometimes the best thing to do is to get out of the house - it'll make you feel better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

the common cold comes on gradually!.
the flu hits very suddenly!.
which applies to you!?
if it's the flu, take Good care of yourself!.
if it's a cold, push through, and wash your hands!. don't spread the "love!."Www@Answer-Health@Com

just stay home
you won't be paying much attention in school
and it will go away quicker if you just rest!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
