Whats wrong with me?

I'm panicking because I can't figure what I have and my parents do not have insurance to pay for me to go to the hospital. Yesterday I had a slight cough throughout the whole day. This morning I woke up feeling sick with a sore throat which is almost subsided by now. I have a fever of 101 that has been going on through the day, headache around my face and head and a slight cough.

My guess would be the flu but I cant go to the doctor which is making my anxiety terrible.

I do know of several people sick right now with some nasty stuff.  The main thing is to stay hydrated and rest.  The first few days should be the worst and then you should begin feeling better and better.  Talk with your parents about medication you could take to ease the symptoms.  Sometimes these things take a few days.
