Unlikely: If you have influenza, plan on being ill for 7-10 days. The severity and duration may be reduced(by about 2days) with tamiflu (oseltamivir). Strep throat treatment is with an appropriate antibiotic, and many begin to feel improvement within 24-48hours. Sorry, but i don't think you should plan on the talent show. You aren't likely to feel well enough, and, especially with influenza, may be contagious.
