Yes, common: Very common. Most of these type of infections tend to last 7-10 and even 14 days. You become tired because your body is spending so much energy fighting the infection. Best is (if you can) stay home rest, stay hydrated, use OTC meds for sore throat. With your symptoms, doubt flu but more likely upper respiratory virus. Best of luck with this. Hope you feel better soon. Dr R
