you feel cold because you are getting a fever, and while it does sound like you may have a flu, the key is how high that fever goes.
Any temperature under 102, you are dealing with a virus, and it's a matter of rest, fluids and more rest. If your fever goes over 102 then the likelihood is high that you have a bacterial problem that would respond to antibiotics and you should see a doctor.
For the virus, if you are nauseated, stick with clear fluids, just continuous sips, until the nausea passes, then start eating yogurt, it will replace the intestinal bacteria we all need to digest our food and you won't get diarrhea. Take tylenol, 650mg every four hours for fever and body aches. Stay home until you are symptom free for 24 hours, or you will spread your illness to everyone around you.
