I have had flu-like symptoms (fever, chills, some aches and pains) for two weeks now. The fever sometimes spikes to 102-103, but usually is around 100-101. Tylenol is effective and bringing it down, but it comes back after the Tylenol wears off. I have no respiratory symptoms however (no cough, no runny nose, no sneezing.) I have had this occasionally for the past few years, but never for two weeks. My doctor did a series of tests and found nothing abnormal except for slightly high liver enzymes and something on a chest CT scan that he said looked abnormal but not a tumor. (He said we can run another test in 6 months to see if it is still there and worry about it then.) He thinks it might be the flu and I should wait another week or two.
The blood tests ruled out Hepatitis.
Does this sound like the flu? (no respiratory symptoms?) If so, is it normal for the fever with a flu to not have improved after two weeks?
Thank you for any help.
