This could be influenza. There are some particularly nasty strains going around out there. If your symptoms have started less than 72 hours ago, get to your doctor. Your physician may be able to prescribe an antiviral medication that will help you feel better faster. The neck pain you mention may be a significant symptom. Is it more of a muscle ache or a sharp pain? Does it feel excruciatingly sharp when you try to touch your chin to your chest? If so, you need to go to the emergency room immediately, as this could be meningitis. If it is more of a muscle ache, I am more inclined to say it is influenza. Hope you feel better soon!

you could have the flu, strep throat which is contagious, spinal meningitis which is also contagious and can sometimes be deadly. The only way to get an accurate answer is to be seen in an emergency room. they can perform all the tests needed there. I hope you get the medical help you need so you can start feeling better.

Sounds like it's flu. Drink plenty of fluids and have some chicken soup and Popsicles. Hope you feel better soon.

It could be a lot of things, but I can guarantee that it is the flu, but I strongly suggest you go see a physician.

Sounds like the common cold, if it lasts only a few days that is.
Certainly, not the flu, the flu has digestive problems, the runs and stomach problems.

If your neck is aching, like as in stiff, you better get checked for meningitis. It's going around in CA, and it's that time of year.

sounds like the flu. If you weren't congested and had chills, I would say it was strep. Best to be sure, see your doc.
