See doctor.: If your symptoms represent a bacterial infection, then a course of antibiotic may help to get you feeling better quickly. If this is viral and it's already started, then it's just going to its thing. If this is the flu, it may be early enough for you to start medications to shorten its course. Regardless, as you can see, a doctor should determine that with which you are dealing right now.
