cold or flu

Sunday I woke up with a sore throat as the day went on it got worse. By yesterday it was unbearable and the congestion started. This morning my whole body aches, I have chills no fever, throat still is killing me,  completely congested and now its hard to breath. The sudden onset makes me question is this a cold? Flu? Streptococcus?  Or isthere a virus going around? I am trying to get a doctor appt this morning.

Um.... It probably is the cold or it could be a chest infection/virus. Thats a good idea to go see the doctor they should be able to tell you more

Hope this helps Emily

probably just some infection or cold. or do you have any allergy? i have allergy reaction asthma and when it started i was all congested because of the allergy. and my throat was start to hurt because of me sneezing and stuff too i thought it was just the flu till couple days later i couldnt breath right. just make sure you get checked up even if its just cold i will go get checked since you have hard time breathing.

Turned out to be a respiratory infection. I was prescribed a zpac and mucinex yesterday. Still feel terrible but hopefully the meds will kick in today and I will feel better tomorrow.
