Do I have the flu??!
Question: My symptoms are:
~extremely cold (wearing 2 sweatshirts in a heated house with a seperate room heater blasting at me)
~Exhaustion
~Innability to concentrate
~Severe headache and some nausea
My face feels hot but we don't have a working thermometer in my house...before it broke this morning it said I was normal so I don't know if I could have the flu without having a fever...
Oh! and I have an EXTREMELY severe dry cough...no cough medicine is working either
So...do you think I have the flu?

It is an upper respiratory tract infection, it can be flu or other similar viruses. take care.
Edit: It depends actually about the initial symptoms in order to define whether it is flu or other respiratory viruses. If the symptoms started with sore throat for the first 2 days then rinhorrea (runny nose and sneezing) , fever and other symptoms followed it is usually flu. Many viruses produce similar symptoms, even gastrointestinal viruses.
YES! Sorry about that.
You should visit your doctor!
You might.I would check with a doctor and I would relax also.
yes honey you have the flu!! get in bed and and stay there. keep warm and take tylenol or motrin to keep the fever down!! try some tea with honey to help the coughing. thats what im doing right now!! terrible dry cough also!! take care of yourself and stay rested!!
Sounds like its possible. Drink plenty of fluids, get plenty of rest, try sleeping with yur head elevated. I am concerned about the nausea though. If it gets worse consult your doctor
