I think I have the flu as I have a fever but still feel cold. What should I do?
I am coughing, sneezing and have a high temperature. But my hairs stand up and I fell the need to put on a coat indoors, even though I have fever.
What is the general advice for me in this situation of the flu/cold.

colds don't produce chills and fever of the sort you describe, so you likely have the flu.
STAY HOME, take tylenol for fever or body aches, drink two liters of water daily, get lots of rest. Do NOT leave the house until you have been fever free, without tylenol, for 24 hours.

Whenever you have a fever you are going to feel cold. It's just the bodies way of trying to regulate your temperature and such. If you have a fever, stomach illness, sore throat, and coughing you should go to the doctor just to be on the safe side. They'll probably treat you for both the swine flu and the regular flu since the swine flu test is more expensive than most people can afford. Hope you feel better.

Sauna is the best way to get better fast, basically is make yourself sweat and drink a lot of orange juice is the best, and there are more but this is the most simple way, good luck, and get well soon.
