Can swolen tonsils effect my tone?

I recently caught the flu after trying my best to stay away from it. I started symptoms friday night. It got pretty bad, the worst part is we have a state band contest and after making superior at a smaller contest earlier in the year for the first time in 15 years, we're so clsoe to making superior at state for the first time in even longer. That contest is sadly Tuesday, and I have about 5 solos in a piece called courtly Airs and Dances. my throat has been a bit sore and swolen but not quite as bad as it was yesterday. My ears also seem to be a little sore and I'm hearing things a little muffled. I'm not sure if its my ears, or the fact that my throat may be swollen enoguh that its changing my pitch, but my tone sounds a little off.

Can a swollen throat cause tone issues?

I'm recovering very fast but I'm still a little concerned I might have this issue Tuesday. I'm afriad if its not any better by Tuesday I will have to give my solos up to someone else and stay home.

Thank you for any answers and comments in advance.
