It sounds like the flu, but it's hard to say over the internet.
Tamiflu is an antiviral medication that helps shorten the course of the flu if given within 48 hours of getting sick -- any longer than that and it won't do any good.
A flu test done at your doctor's office should be accurate at this point, but mono takes up to 2 weeks to show up on the blood test.
If it's been less than 48 hours, see your doctor. Otherwise try rest, fluids, and over-the-counter TheraFlu. Good luck.
sounds like the flu
You probably have the flu. If you do not go to the doc in 72 hours there is really nothing they can do. You will have to let it run its course. That is how mine started!

If it's the flu they give you amoxicillan and it makes it better. If it's mono they give you something too..They cant' do anything for a COLD. but it seems like the flu, I just got over that.
sounds like the flu the dr can give you something to help it run through faster but nothing to kill it the best thing to do it eat soup stay warm and in bed take Advil or such for pain and fever you can gargle with warm salt water for your throat
It cou;d be the Flu. Have you kissed anyone or shared a cup or something like that with anyone?If you have then there is a chance that you have mono. But it is highly doubtful. If anything, look up the symptons. That will help you out alot. Take a tylonol and see if it helps. Get some rest too, that helps no matter what sickness you have, right? Well I hope you get better!
