Simplest explanation: Is the most likely one. If you have a fever of 101 or higher, this is most likely Influenza. If not, these symptoms are also characteristic for the common cold, a name given to a number of viral illnesses affecting the upper and also sometimes lower airway. You feel lousy because the virus causes your cells to release inflammatory chemical mediators that regulate your body's immune response.
