If you are under 18 don't take any aspirin or ibuprofen without a doctor's instructions - see Reyes Syndrome. Tylenol will take the edge off the symptons but you need to see a doctor right away, you may have the flu or strep throat or other things. Walk in clinics are open late and on weekends. Follow the instructions on the over the counter drugs. You are contagious so going to school means you will get other's sick. I don't know why you can't miss more school but if you are getting sick alot then you need to talk to your doctor. If you have tests/projects/activities you don't want to miss talk to your teachers. If you have reached your school's limit on number of days missed in a school year talk to your administrators - Better yet if there are any parents or guardians who can go to bat for you have them talk to your school. Communicating is the best way to get problems resolved.
