Flu: Get a CBC, TSH, free T4, BMP and monospot test done to evaluate for other causes of fatigue. See a doctor right away.

See integrative MD: Unfortunately this is not uncommon; while you will probably improve within a few weeks, some people develop chronic fatigue after flu-like illness. Sometimes this can activate a latent infection like Lyme disease. Continue to rest,have a healthy diet,avoid sweets,take quality multivit.,Vit. C 1000 mg 3-4/day,Niacinamide 500 mg 3x/day, immune-boosting herbs like andrographis, cordyceps.See comment:
