Have I got a flu?

Yesterday I felt like I was beginning to get a fever or illness. It felt like a cold. With weak and sensitive skin. That aching feeling you get when you are ill. I had a terrible night last night. Woke up with temperature of 38 degress. About an hour later it is down to 36.

I am having hot and cold sweats. I have a terrible headache - like sinus but worse. For 5 years of my life I suffered with very nasty migraines. But this is worse. I am not sneezing, or blocked up as bad as I usually am with flu. My throat is very painful but not when I swallow. I get hayfever and have been itching my throat recently with my throat. Where you make it scratch inside. I have been getting so much phlegm, usually white and sticky but sometimes yellow and only very ocassionally light brown. My left ear sometimes beats and thumps painfully. My wisdom teeth need to come out so not sure whether this could be the cause of the ear and jaw pain.

My neck is in chronic pain and agony. My body aching all over. Dry sore eyes. Heavy eyelids, constant black bags. Tender head, aching forehead, ears, temple, jaw bone - also clicks now and then and gets stiff when chewing.

I am 19, no drinker, non smoker male. I have been feeling ill for about 5 months now. Not this but supposedly stress and anxiety.



Does this sound like a flu type illness or something else?

Many Thanks.

James

I also have a lot of wind and gas, flatulence and burping. Stomach cramps after eating sometimes too.
