Sounds like a virus: Could even be influenza. If it ha been less than72 hoes since onset of symptoms seek care immediately as there are ends for influenza. Otherwise it is supportive care like Mucinex (guaifenesin) dm if coughing or plain if not. Aleve2 twice a day or Ibuprofen 4 three times a day for the aches and sweats. You can gargle with hot salty water for throat. Sit in hot shower feels good too. Rest!
