If you really must ~ and you cannot cancel ~ then get to a throat doctor and let him help you. They can spray your throat, give you pills, maybe painkillers & vitamins ......But, afterwards, take good care of youself.

We are all (???) accustomed to sore throats, so we take them lightly, but they really signal something serious. Sometimes when we are young, we just brush them off, without actually taking the time to get well again.

So, be sure that your diet is adequate, that you have fresh water to drink, and that you are not making yourself unhappy by forcing yourself to do something you do not want to do.

Basically, since you are going to force yourself to go through with a performance, even though you are ill, and even though you might give away some microbes to someone else, you should make amends to your body and stay in bed, warm, under the covers, and you need some sort of elixir: honey, some warm tea, some pancakes and berries with sweetened sour cream....something to make you well again. Maybe a hot toddy, which is hot water, sugar, lemon juice and a small splash of something like whiskey.

And, make some steak and roast potatoes. You need to restore your strength. If you like, have fresh apples.

I am sorry to nag, but with all the pills today, with all the (temporary ) cures, we think we can overlook the basic problem with our health..... but the underlying problem is still there: you need to work on your health!!

All the best

You need to drink as much water as you can and take as much motrin as your doctor tells you is safe to recude cord swelling. Drinking lukewarm water always helped me clear out the "stuff". Put lemon in the water, it will help with hydration. Good luck!

Any way you can get out of it? Sorry to hear this. I guess all I can say is drink lots of water right now, and GO TO BED. Try sucking on a lemon wedge beforehand and good luck.
