its just something that should run its course in about a week or too drink plenty of fluids,a virus is just a bad bug that runs through the body and doctors very rarely prescribe anything for it as the bodies ammune system can fight it most of the time

It does not sound like the flu to me either.  It sounds viral.

It could be but it sounds more like a virus. Go to your doctor or chemist they can give you tablets. Hope you feel better soon :)
