Does Fever And Painful Eye Indicate Flu?

Hello

About 2 weeks ago I went into a minute clinic bc I had pain all over(achy) and a slight fever. She told me I had a sinus infection and gave me meds to take. Just a few days ago my symptoms have come back but worse. It hurts to open my eyes and I was running a fever of 101.8 last night. Do I have the flu?

Hi, see flu is not diagnosis but it's a symptom complex and different from common cold.
If u are having difficulty to open eye with fever,then It could be due to conjunctivitis, keratitis usually associated with upper respiratory tract infection or sore throat,or common cold
U need to see Opthalmologist if u really have hurting to open the eye with other eye symptoms otherwise physician would be better.
I find this answer helpful
