Diagnose it to treat: The best thing to do is get an accurate diagnosis - so then you can get the best treatment. Even though it's no longer 'flu season' in the US, it's still possible to get the flu. Best to see a doc today (urgent care?) and get a rapid test. If it is flu, there are antivirals available (Tamiflu). It could be another germ however, so finding out what it is will help plan out the best treatment.
