Hi9,
It seems that you might be having viral infection as your family is having.
Take analgesic, decongestant medicine for 2-3 days.
But as you having event coming up, it is advisable to have one course of antibiotic as there might be possibility of having mixed infection with bacterial infection.
Avoid cold drinks and junk food.
Take rest during this time.
Ok and take care.
