A member asked:

I have bodyaches, weak, no fever or cough & i feel very cold. could this be the flu? i'm a breastfeeding mother to a 3 month old baby.

It is possible: That you may be coming down with the flu especially if you are not getting enough sleep. You will be more prone to catching a cold or any virus. Get plenty of sleep, eat properly and take something to help you feel better. Otherwise you will have to see your pcp. Get the flu shot if you have not had yours yet.

Good day, my wife just visited a GP at Medipark Centurion who felt it is not necessary to conduct a Covid-19 test. She has flu-like symptoms, a dry cough and measured a slight fever of 37.4C. We have a two week old infant at home and my mom who is 61?
Since Monday morning I experienced body aches and I had a slight cough. Today, the cough is gone and the body aches are easing. I checked the covid symptoms but they don't compare. I also don't have a fever. Could it just be a cold or flu?
