Sore Throat, Body Aches, Headache, Cough, Sharp Pain In Lungs While Coughing. Flu?
I started with a sore throat yesterday morning, by night I was achy and my skin hurts. Also have a headache . This morning add a cough to that with sharp pain in my lungs when I do cough. Flu? Throat doesn t look or feel like strep . I am a 40 year old female, generally healthy, this year I seem to get over one cold and catch a new one.
