Do I have the flu, cold, or just something else?
I've had a sore thought for a while. But last night I had a really bad stomach ache, but I never threw up. I did gag a lot, but no throw up. I also had a pretty severe headache. It's been a little bit better, but it still hurts! Also my muscles are sore too...

hard to say. if you run a fever, you usually have the flu.

You would have to go to the doctor and be tested to know for sure.

If you have a fever you could have strep throat or a sinus infection or even the flu. If your temperature is normal it is probably a cold but I would see a doctor to know for sure.
