Currently on my 2nd day of what might be the flu.
On the first night I soaked the sheets and I can't swallow anything without wincing, I can feel my tonsils with my fingertips I think they're swollen. I was also a bit woozy and kept getting hot and then cold through the day. My muscles ache and even my wrists and ankles do 
Last night I was running a fever again and woke myself up everytime I swallowed, it's not just my throat anymore it hurts more to the sides where my tonsils are and this morning my ear is also aching mildly.
I'm severely dehydrated despite my best attempts to drink as it hurts so much when I swallow anything and I've eaten less than usual due to the pain too.
I've been having lemsip and I've got a delivery with some throat anaesthetic spray arriving at some point today as Strepsils does not help at all, I'm still having moments when I'm cold and then really warm. I'm only drinking lukewarm drinks (mostly water) as it hurts less. Also still feeling weak and a woozy if I stand up too fast.
I'm EBF at the moment and the LO is going through a sleep regression so the amount of sleep I get is laughable and really wears me down due to this illness, I'm looking after 2 under 3s through the day too which does not help. I limit speaking to a minimum as that hurts too. GP can't see me for a week.
Can I have some tips of what else I could be doing please?
