Flu anyone?: It sound like the seasonal flu. Did u get ur flu shot this year? Rest and drink plenty of fluids and take Acetaminophen for pain and over the counter cold and cough medicine to sooth your congestion and cough. If not better in 2-3 days or if u have temperature higher than 101 degrees not responding to Acetaminophen call/see ur doc.

See doctor..,: Your symptoms could be due to bronchitis due to infection in the airways or even pneumonia, an infection of the lungs. An evaluation by your doctor may include a physical exam, lab work and chest x-ray. If your symptoms are worsening, including shortness of breath, go to the er for diagnosis and treatment. Treatment depends on diagnosis.
