Flu symptoms: in classic influenza A or B are quite dramatic: severe body pain, high fevers, chills, sweats, cough and weakness. You are describing a common cold caused by multiple common viruses.Treatment: Force fluids x 8-10 glasses/day of electrolyte rich fluids (Powerade, Gatorade, Vitamin Water, G) and 4-6 bowls/day of broth spray, followed by nasal saline spray, warm water gargles or neti pot.

Cough, breathing : I would recommend that you take Tamiflu for acute onset of flu symptoms. Since you have been sick for a month, a secondary infection may be possible. Strep testing and a sputum sample may be sent to provide your physician with further information. A course of antibiotics and a Chest Radiograph may be indicated.
