My body aches and i have been sick for 3 weeks is it the flu ?

Doubtful: The flu causes fever, aches and pains, and a hacking cough. Three weeks is a long time for it to last, in an otherwise healthy person. I suggest seeing your family practitioner. You may have a complication of the flu, such as pneumonia, etc.
