I have flu like symptoms, body aches, scrathy throat, no stuffy nose, but a dry cough that goes to my chest, my ears itch and I've had some nausea today. My throat is not swollen and doesn't have any white spots, but it is red. This afternoon I notice a red heat like rash on my stomach and chest. Is this me moving through the stages of a flu or should I go get checked by a doctor?
