Answers:

See your doctor, or stop in at an urgent-care center, if there are any in your area. Along with your other symptoms, the yucky snot is a sign of an infection somewhere.

Aside from possibly being contagious, your condition could become a lot more serious if you push yourself to go to school when you're sick.

Bottom line: Get medical advice as soon as possible, and be prepared to stay home until you're better. Get your assignments from friends, and work on them as much as you can. At least you'll be able to get your reading stuff done.

Here's hoping you'll recover quickly!



Yes you should stay home, at the very least you have an ear infection that should be treated with antibiotics and you may have strep throat as well. Go to ready care tomorrow morning.



I would stay home if I were you and just get the make up work from your friends; since your snot is yellow-green it's probably a sinus infection.



It sounds like a cold or allergies to me. Look and see if you have white bumps in your throat, because then it might be strep. I'd take some anti-histamines and/or cold meds and then try to tough it out tomorrow at school. Drink some hot water with honey and lemon juice in it for your throat. Go get a strep test tomorrow after school. Don't share food/water and bring hand sanitizer to school so you don't get other people sick. You most likely have a cold, maybe a sinus infection. Your ears probably hurt from sinus pressure, and it's probably what's making you dizzy as well. The drainage from your nose would also explain the sore throat and cracking voice.

If you're just going to be miserable all day at school, I'd stay home.
