I received this chart from my insurance company:
Cold: fever (rare), headache (rare), general aches/pains (slight), fatigue (mild), extreme exhaustion (never), stuffy nose (common), sneezing (usual), sore throat (common), chest discomfort/cough (mild to moderate, hacking cough.
Flu: fever (characteristic, high and lasts for 3-4 days, headache (prominent), aches/pains (Usual, often severe), fatigue (can last up to 2-3 weeks), exhaustion (early and prominent), stuffy nose (sometimes), sneezing (sometimes), sore throat (sometimes), chest discomfort (common, can become severe

I think you need to get in bed, drink LOTS of fluids, take some pain reliever and some vitamin C. Wait a few days to condition, see if you feel better. Talk with the coach.
