Really silly question it may be... but I really want someone to help me out. Please?

Alrighty. This is kind of silly for me to ask, but I am feeling like I am getting sick. My throat feels kinda dry and every time I swallow, I have a feeling of it being a throat ache. I can't explain it but I feel like I am getting sick. I get really scared when I feel sick. I hate getting sick. Every time I tell my mom about it, she gets all mad at me for getting sick. And she's in a bad time now. Should I tell her I might feel sick tomorrow so that she can give me medicine and I can prevent it? Or should I just try to forget about it and not tell her at all. I am not sure what to do. I am chewing a lot of peppermint gum. That sometimes helps. So what should do? I'm paraniod. Please help!
