You have the flu

pkay, im guessing it is a cold, or a small flu bug. I recommend drinking a lot o.j. and getting a lot of bed rest. Stuff that you would normally do when you have a cold. Stay very warm, and maybe have an icepack on your head if it is burning. I get sick around the holidays, even on my birthday! I am used to it, so i hope my advice helps you.

sounds like you have the flu. Try to sweat it out i usuallyput as much warm clthes on and get under a comforter and also take cold/flu medicine hope you feel better soon

take as many hot showers as you can, what i have a sore thoht i turn the shower up really hot and take a wash cloth and put it over my face and brethe in the steem that helps for awhile, drink water and orange juice. Another thing that helps me is eating jolly rancers or a hard candy to suck on cause having the candy helps my mouth produce saliva which also helps too try not to talk either, also a hot/warm wash cloth on you head helps too for a headace.
When you go to bed sleep kinda upright so that you nose can kinda drain lol so that it won't stuff you up
for the stiff neck try to toll your head to strech your neck muscles, but slowly so you don't pull a muscle. Have someone or yourself massage your neck, also the hot showers on you neck should help too.
Well hope i helped and i hope you get better!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

As far as I know none of us here on Advicenators are doctors, although there may be a few medical students, though. And even if there WERE a doctor here, it would be professionally irresponsible to make a diagnosis over the internet.
So if anyone tells you that you have a particular illness, they'd be asking for trouble - and you'd be making a mistake if you assumed that they were right.
Your mother REALLY should take you to a doctor. Can you tell us why she isn't? Has she given you a reason? Can you talk to your father or some other responsible adult (a teacher, counselor, coach, minister, rabbi, school nurse, or something)?
You also didn't mention if you have a fever. That could be important.
I hope I'm not breaking any rules if I say that what you've described matches various illnesses that I've had. So I suppose it could be a cold, or the flu, or something more serious. My own little boy recently had similar symptoms, plus a fever. Our pediatrician first said he had a stomach virus...and then when he got worse over the next couple of days, she had him get a blood test and x-rays. It turned out that he had pneumonia.
She put him on antibiotics and he's responded really well. But it just goes to show you: even a doctor with a lot of experience can be wrong on the first diagnosis. And sometimes what seems like a cold can be something a lot more serious.
So I'd strongly suggest that you talk to your mother and find some way to see a doctor.
Good luck!
