I was fine until Monday morning, but when I woke up, I had a nasty dry cough, that by mid day rapidly developed into a fever, and severe headaches and body aches. As of today, I am so exhausted and in so much pain that I feel dizzy and can barely even sit up straight. Even Tylenol Ultra barely dulls the head pain, which radiates around my entire skull every time I cough. I also have no appetite.
Are these symptoms indicative of a cold or the flu? At what point should you go the doctor?

It sounds like the flu. When I had it, I had it for all of Febuary last year. Almost. The headache? I have a horrible one, worse if you're congested...

I am not a doctor but what ur saying seems to be flu rather than a cold. I suggest you go to the doctors immediately and get some antibiotic. Wish you better.

Well, I would probably say you have the flu. But i'm not a doctor, just judging from my own past experiences.

You should go ahead and go to the doctor. It will probably only get worse if you don't.
