Not the flu.: Your description of symptoms are not likely due to the flu. Furthermore, sweaty skin does not cause itching, dry skin does. So, if it resolves within two weeks, if was likely some infection. However, if it goes on longer, it needs to be evaluated by a GP and likely you will need lab testing. If have fever, treat the symptom. Need to find the diagnosis to treat if persists.
