Sounds like it: Sure sounds like influenza. First, if you didn't receive a flu vaccine, it raises the possibility. There is a test for influenza, so if you're worried about other possibilities, you should have that done. However, even tamiflu, (oseltamivir) an antiviral drug, won't do much to curtail the symptoms. Contact your doc if you think there may be more to this, like pneumonia or asthma.

Hits like a brick!: Symptoms of the flu: •a 100 f or higher fever or feeling feverish (not everyone with the flu has a fever) •a cough and/or sore throat •a runny or stuffy nose •headaches and/or body aches •chills •fatigue •nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea (most common in children) if you did not get the vaccine-the flu can be severe and cause more substantial problems.
