I'm not sure what i have, i have a scratchy throat( it hurts to eat/drink or talk) chills, a throbbing headache, and my body is really sore?

Flu: Sounds like you have a general systemic viral infection. I recommend seeing your doctor to check for evidence of a virulent bacterial infection that mY require antibiotics.
