Signs of the flu include high fever and body aches. This sounds like a cold or allergy. I suggest you try the Neti-pot to wash out your sinuses and cut down on the allergies.

"A simple yet very powerful technique, neti works wonders for chronic sinusitis, and allergies. It has a remarkable effect on upper respiratory tract infections, especially hay fever. In fact, neti is so beneficial that responses usually change from "YUK, there is no way I am ever going to try that" to "WOW. That is fantastic. I am hooked for life" after just one trial."

They seem more like allergy symptoms. This is what I found for allergy symptoms:

sneezing, often accompanied by a runny or clogged nose

coughing and postnasal drip

itching eyes, nose and throat

allergic shiners (dark circles under the eyes caused by increased blood flow near the sinuses)

the "allergic salute" (in a child, persistent upward rubbing of the nose that causes a crease mark on the nose)

watery eyes

conjunctivitis (an inflammation of the membrane that lines the eyelids, causing red-rimmed, swollen eyes and crusting of the eyelids)

And I found this about natural home remedies for allergies. I hope this helps.
It is better to avoid moist environments. Molds, carpet, and bedding can be reasons for the allergies. Hence you should always keep you bed clean and tidy. It is better to use dehumidifiers and air filters to prevent minute particles from entering your room. People who are mostly using air conditioners in their room should use proper filters to circulate pure air in the room. Pets and plants in the home could also be a cause for the allergies in our body.

Quercetin which is found in onions, garlic, and citrus fruits is a natural antihistamine. It is recommended to have garlic, onions, and citrus fruits as a cure to allergies. Gargling warm water mixed with 1 teaspoon of non-iodized salt can also be done to treat allergies. You can also use a neti pot that is available in yoga or holistic centers and you can fill this pot with the solution that is recommended above and rinse your nostrils with this solution. This would also aid in controlling the allergies.
