Question: Could it be the flu or something else?

So yesterday my throat was hurting and i was confused. I fell asleep in the afternoon and when I was going to fall asleep at night, my body and head began to hurt. I had a mild fever, but I though I could sleep it off. around 4 am, i woke up burning up, my body hurting badly, it was hard for me to stand up, and I was sweating bullets. my stomach hurts from time to time. I didn't go to school, but is this a common flu? it seems to strong for it be that. my ears feel plugged up and i'm sensitive to sounds. i already gargled some salt water and took ibuprofen and Amoxicillin.

Answers:

Flu is contagious and it's NOT a mild infection like a common cold: it will make you feel the way you describe. Amoxycillin will have no effect whatsoever as it only works on bacteria, and flu is a virus. Bed-rest, a painkiller and fluids are the best treatment while your body fights this in its own way. It can take up to a month before you really feel better, so be patient and don't try to do too much too soon.

Experience

probably the flu. not to serious to be the flu, my dad had it and he could barely standup long enough to brush his teeth
