This morning I woke up with a slight sore throat. By the time I got to work, It was alot worse, and I also had a headache and aches in my back. I'm supposed to sing at a Relay for Life walk tonight. Is this contagious, and will I still be able to perform?
Hi, thanks for the query. Start antiseptic mouthwash , Plenty of fluids , Steam Inhalation , combination of Paracetemol + Ibuprofen , Antibiotic azithromycin for 5 days. Yes it Contagious , if unavoidable you can sing but donot misuse voice , take break & fluid in between singing. Certainly above treatment will give you much relief but if relief is not upto satisfaction level then consultation with your ENT doctor will become essential. Hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
