A member asked:

I got wet outside yesterday and slept with the a/c and fan on i woke up and had chills , aches and msjor congestion do i possibly have the flu?

Anything possible: But probably unrelated to your environmental exposure. Sounds like a viral illness, but whether it is influenza or something else would require more information and testing to determine.
