Suggest Treatment For Cough, Chills, Fever And Pain In The Ribcage

I have been sick with fever, chill, coughing with rib cage pain last 3 days. Temp has been mild between 98.3 and 100 degrees. BP has been about 130/86 plus minus a little bit. Last night, I had a cold sweat after rubbing with Vicks vapor rub and my feet gets mildly cold at times. Is this just a bad flu or something else?
