What could theses symptoms be? headache, sore throat, cough, chills?!
Question: If you also have a high fever, like 102, consider influenza. Without a fever, possibly bronchitis or a simple upper respiratory infection..In any case, drink plenty of fluids, rest as much as you can, Tylenol for fever/body aches,headaches, or motrin if a fever is unresponsive to tylenol. Take Motrin with food to protect your stomach. Soups and teas are good to soothe a cough, avoid too much caffeine as this will dry you out, making the mucus in your chest more difficult to expel. Humidify the air. Avoid all smoke. Wash your hands often, and throw away used tissues,don't save it for the next time. Honey can soothe a cough, and the lemon thins the mucus, use it in tea without milk. Avoid dairy as these increase mucus production. Also, green phlegm, shortness of breathe, fevers more than 3 days, all need a doctors appointment. Hope your feeling better soon.

This sounds more like the flu!!! Maybe you should go to the doctor to make sure its not, but it really sounds like the flu. My boyfriend had all this symptoms and he had the flu two weeks ago. they had to give him a z-pack to get rid of it. He still has a cough that they say last up to two weeks.
could be the flu....depends though how long it has been persisting. Doctor visit is best if it is longer than a week, in my opinion.
The common cold, the flu, strep throat, mononucleosis, infected tonsillitis, pneumonia, thrush, and a few more I can't think of right now.
Best bet, see your doctor, or health department they can usually get you an appointment with one if you don't have one
