Probably the only reason not to play is if you're too tired, or have a 
fever. My wife was certain I was being foolish by practicing (or rehearsing 
or performing) when I was sick (and I don't get sick often, but when I do, 
it's always respiratory in nature) - she thought the pressure would not be 
good for me - but my doctor says no problem if I feel I'm up to it.

Play, and I hope you feel better!
