Sick :( What can I take????

I am a teacher in Michigan and we just had an unexpected four day weekend due to snow days Friday and Monday.  During that time I felt great!  In the middle of last night I woke up to a swollen throat, achy body and stuffy nose.  Now I am back to work today and feel like garbage.  I have a pressure headache and my whole body hurts.  I am trying so hard not to use my sick days because that is all I get paid for as far as maternity leave goes.   What is safe to take?????

I do have a booklet at home but wanted to know if there was anything here at work I could take to try and survive the rest of the day.  I just ended up taking some Tylenol for the pain and aches, hopefully that will help until I can get home and take a hot shower.

I've had the same thing since Saturday. I've been gargling salt water and sucking on disgusting halls for the sore throat. Blow my nose very often and just rest. I am on my 2nd day off of work. I'd rather not push it and get a higher fever or get anyone else sick. I am going back tomorrow though. Oh and drinking decaf hot tea with honey. I've only used Tylenol when I feel
The aches and chills.

I hope you feel better soon.
