What do these symptoms add up too?


Earlier today, in choir class, out of nowwhere, there was a sharp pain in my ear.. folIowing that felt extremly dizzy. I would of thought that I was locking my legs, but we where sitting down, and so i didn't know what to make of it. Except that mabye it was because i am a suprano and we where singing extremly high.I didn't go to the nurse because i really didn't think she could do anything about it.. and I didn't want to miss my last class. So by the time i got to gym [[my last class]] I figured i had walked it off. I felt fine until the end of the day when i got home. I have to do my homework immediatley, and during this time, i felt dizzy again.. I thought mabye it was because of my rabbits cage, that i hadn't changed in acouple days.. but i went into anouther room and felt the same.

Anyway My nose is stuffy.. it hurts to swallow [[even water]] , my muscles ache, i feel EXTREMLY tired.. my eyes burn [[mabye from crying?]] and i don't have a therometer.. my mom is going to get 1

right now she is at the store.. and getting me a thermometer. I have missed too many days of school, and can't missa nymroe, or my mom could get introuble. I can't get a doctors note because my sister and i don't have insurance.. because my family is going through a reallllllllly rough time. So, what can I do?

Sounds like you have Otitis media. Basically, it's an ear infection. You must be fairly young because this disease doesn't occur too often in older adults but basically what's happening is that your throat got infected by a bacterium and it moved its way into your ear canal because it's connected to your throat. Now it has infected your inner ear.

I wouldn't be too worried though. This disease is commonly treated with antibiotics but the vast majority of the cases clear up on their own without any treatment. I would suggest you just take it easy for a few days, drink lots of warm fluids, and try to get lots of rest. If you feel really bad, take some tylenol or aspirin as directed on the box--it should cool down your fever.

Blue Plus is free insurance. Google it! Other then that, when u get it figured out, then the free insurance will help you with the doctor bills. But deffinetly Google Blue Plus Insurance!

well its for sure, that you're sick. with the whole swallowing thing, i have that like once a year, i went to a doctor about it and she said its a kind of a flu where it attacks your throat, so that you have to painfully wait it out, last time i had it there was nothing i could take for it. yes when you sing really high for a long time and do a lot of voice realted things, your head might get "tired" and you might get dizzy. other than that you're just sick. go to a doctor, stay at home for a few days, maybe a week. hope this helped and you'll get better soon :)

It sounds like you're getting the flu.

Rinse your face & eyes with cold water.

Gargle with very warm salt water 3-4X/day. Gargle with Hydrogen peroxide. It will feel weird because it bubbles a lot.
Take Advil, Aleve or Tylenol for pain & fever.

Drink tea with honey & lemon.
Suck on Zinc lozenges & Vicks or Halls cough drops with Eucalyptus.
Take Vit.C 2000mg every 2 hrs.

Try sucking on ice chips, sip Gatorade, room temp Ginger ale (stir with fork to get rid of bubbles). Drink as much fluids as you can...not dairy.

Good luck, feel better.

Use Mucinex for stuffy nose & to loosen mucus.
