I've been sick for a few days in my head and my stomach and then
it moved on to my throat and it hurt.
and today all those are gone so i tried to sing today
and when i'm singing its not the same as before.
i used to sing like relaxed but now when i sing
i feel a tightening in my throat and i force my voice to let that sound out.
I don't know if you guys understand what I'm saying
but I'm kinda scared since I have to perform soon +_+;;;;;
my mom says it might be puberty kicking in but i'm not a guy
and im done with all that puberty stuff.
can anyone tell me what i can do to help my throat
or maybe what's happening?
i'm feeling kinda scared/nervous that i won't be able to sing again -0-;

One of the worst things you can do to your voice is forcing yourself to sing. I understand what you're saying about the tightening in your throat. It could be that your throat is still recovering from your illness, despite feeling fine. Sometimes when people get sick, too, their vocal range shrinks. I'm not an expert or anything, so some of what I say could be wrong. I suggest to warm-up before singing, though. Start out small and then work your way back to the point you were before.

i get that even though i was never sick O.o

idk why,,
so i'm wondering the same thing ?

well i am afraid you need to wait for a few more days for the throat to heal..
i mean all of those are JUST gone today...lol
after a few days..just try humming first and then sing slowly with an easy song..
not with a mariah carey song or sth like that..lol
just keep practicing~
but remember, don't go overboard...take a rest sometimes
