Sick for nearly 2 weeks now.

I am a very healthy 18 year old male and 27th march I was removing a dead bird from my garden, that evening I fell ill with a headache, achey-ness and came down with flu that week. My mother rang up doctors for me and I went down and they said i'm fine, it'll be gone within 10 days. yesterday was the 10th day and i'm now coughing to the point where i'm about to be sick but cannot vomit.

Putting 2+2 together with removing the bird and getting ill, what are the possibilities of having avian flu?!

This Sunday will be the 2 week mark of being ill which I've never been ill longer than a week! :(

All they did was check my tempreture, listen to my chest and back and also check my throat and glands. All seemed fine to them.
