Flu: Body aches with a runny/stuffy nose is more likely flu or a flu-like virus and not a simple cold. If symptom onset has been in the past 24 hours... Tamiflu (oseltamivir) could be used to shorten symptoms.... Otherwise... Symptom relief and chicken noodle soup.

Likely viral...: You likely have a viral infection causing your symptoms. Antibiotics would be ineffective. Drink plenty of fluids, rest and see your doctor if symptoms worsen. Treatment for symptom control, including nasal spray, inhalers if bronchospasm is present, etc. , could be prescribed.
