Hello. I went to the doctor yesterday for acute body aches and fatigue. My ears and throat hurt but he said they were clear, as were my sinuses. He did a rapid flu test , but it was negative. He said he s convinced I have the flu and prescribed Tamiflu. I ve never had the flu, so not sure what to expect. My throat is VERY sore today, and my ears still hurt. I m exhausted and achy. My son has cystic fibrosis so he was started on tamiflu as well. I m wondering now if I could have the flu and something else, or something else altogether. Does flu cause throat and ear pain?
