Cold or flu?
I got my flu shot. However, after spending time with my boyfriend, he came down with a cold/flu like illness. Soon after, I woke up one morning, threw up, and had diarrhea. I then developed a sore throat. By that night I developed a very bad dry raspy cough. I was up practically the whole night with my throat and the cough keeping me up.
The next day I felt fluey in the morning, but pretty much okay in the afternoon, except for my throat and cough. I did not have any nasal symptoms yet. However, I had an on and off low grade fever (highest point that day 100.8) That night, my nose started getting stuffy/runny, and my mucus became very yellow.
The next day, I felt AWFUL. Totally zapped of energy, coughing up a storm, and my nose was sooo bad. I had no voice, throat still hurt. That night my temp started to rise quicky, got to 101, and I took tylonal, which brought it down.
I am starting to feel a bit better today. Still coughing, but no fever. Some sneezing. Flu? Cold? Which?
