Is this a flu?

Question

I did get really tried when I first got this, and my eyes were burning. I went to sleep and woke up sore on my right knee cap and hip (slept on my right side). On top of that my whole body was aching. I was also a bit fatigued and still felt tired. this lasted for another day, I then got a sore throat. I took some Theraflu and it relieved my throat and it is gone, I also felt better overall since it relieved my pain. I do have a dry cough, but no runny nose. I still have this sorness about my body and the Theraflu doesn't really help much anymore, If i take it disrupts my sleep, I get really hot even though i'm cold. So now I am couping with this aching over most my body without medicine. It doesn't really bother me much if i walk around, but it really gets to me when I lay down or am trying to sleep and i still feel like crap. Is this a part of the flu? It's almost been about a week now, should I hold it out for a bit longer? What should the pain feel like? Or am I just worried?

Answer 1

The most likely thing is that you're just getting over the flu. Try going for a short walk and then take a nap (the tiredness helps you sleep). Also, try taking some Advil/Acamol or something like that for the achiness, and if your syptoms don't go in another week I'd go to the doctor. There's no need to be anxious, but if you want reassurance, it's probably best to see a health professional.
Hope you feel better soon!
