Feeling dreadful - flu ?

Hi - I've been feeling dreadful the past 2 days. Zero energy - fever - sinus pain and heavy cold. Irritating cough makes it hard to get any rest. At first I thought it was just a chill but starting to think it's flu? Any ideas to get over this ?

The usual. Rest, fluids, paracetamol/neurofen.

There are lots of bad colds and coughs out there. If you haven’t got a temp/sore bones/sore skin, it’s probably not flu.

Body aches all and dry cough. Making sleep impossible.

Try a chopped onion in your room, and go to sleep sucking a strepsil, propped up so you’re almost upright.

Also, baths helped me. Try a vick inhalation too. Hope you feel better soon.
