Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It is common to hear these complaints following or during flu. You are doing right.

I simply suggest ample rest from work, increase fluids esp non caffeine drinks, Motrin with hot water fomentation or neck massages.

You should get better soon.

Take care.
