A member asked:

Productive cough has turned into dry cough. fever of 101.6 at its highest, comes down with tylenol (acetaminophen). sneezing, headache, body aches, chills. pneumonia?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cough ; fever: This time of year and those symptoms are screaming influenza. Did you get flu shot this year? If it's in the first 2 days of the illness, try to get in to doc as there is an anti-flu medication that can be given as long as you do it early. If it's been longer, then fluids, rest. Pneumonia is a possibility, but usually not body aches/headache with that. If short of breath, painful breath, see doc!
