Are Fever, Chills, Productive Cough, Sneezing And Fatigue Signs Of Flu?

I think I have he flu or a chest cold, it s been goin around in my area. Common symptoms like fever,chills, mucous, coughing, sneezing, tired and achey muscles have all been normal. The last three days the mucous has gotten worse so much so that I hv to sleep in an upright position. If I lay down flat the mucous fills my throat and I hv to cough it out, t clear my breathing passages. Today my hands and feet are tingling. Periodically during the day I am forced to cough until I can expell the mucous, in order to catch my breath. Still this all seems like a normal chest cold/flu to myself. Increasingly it feels like lumps are in my throat, is this normal should I be concerned?

Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to a flu-like infection. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms.

I recommend drinking liquids and rest. The symptoms with relieve gradually in a few days.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
