answer:Well, you already caught it it seems. To prevent catching it you need to do things like avoid touching your face. If indeed you have a cold, most colds start off with a scratchy throat and then within 48 hours change over to the whole congestions thing, then the good news is a typical cold lasts about a week. So you should be better in time. If you had caught it three days later you would be in the middle of the worst of it, if indeed you have caught a cold. So, your timing is actually lucky if you were going to get it. Get plenty of sleep. Sleep is the body’s time to heal. Eat healthy foods like dark green veggies and fruits. Stay away from your boyfriend! Literally, do not sleep next to him, do not prepare food for him, if you give it to him he will be miserable in Disney. Assume you are developing a cold at least for the next 24 hours and see where it is going. If you develop a fever and the sore throat persists for 72 hours, get antibiotics, you will be better by Disney time. But, “scratchy” throat usually is not strep, it usually is a cold. Antibiotics will not help a common cold. Hopefully you just feel very tired since you are busy and have not had enough rest lately. A good night’s sleep might cure feeling a little under weather if it is not a virus causing it.
