I have a sore throat and my family's been a little sick lately. How can I keep from getting more sick?

I'm in high school and I really need to go to school so that I don't have a lot of makeup work to do. Normally I would want to stay home but it's not even very fun to stay home really sick. So how can I easily make myself feel better?

Gargle warm salt water and start taking alieve or ibuprofen. Also get outside in the sun to promote higher vitamin D levels-- people underestimate the natural power the sun provides for us. even if you just sit in a lawn chair looking up with your eyes closed.
