Possibly: Flu sympotms can include fever, chills, sore throat, cough, headaches, nasal congestion marked aching of muscles and joints ; significant fatigue. When present, nausea, vomiting and loose stools are more often seen in children. It could be another upper respiratory viral infection as well. Take care.

Your correct: The symptoms are consistent with a viral infection. The flu has been epidemic this year despite vaccinations. A viral respiratory infection requires your immune response to eradicate the virus. No antibiotics. Viral infections usually require 2 to 3 weeks for resolution.
