Headache. Runny nose. Persistent cough. General weakness or lethargy. Perhaps a bit of minor muscle pain or tenseness. No constipation or diarrhea as yet. The condition began two days ago when I noticed a mild lethargy and a minor headache. The coughing began yesterday, got worse, and now my throat is itchy sore from it. Also, the coughs jolt my head and aggravate my headache.

The headache continues despite the four aspirin I took an hour ago. I have much coughing but very little sneezing. Today is the first day I've been much bothered with this condition. It will probably peak tonight or tomorrow and then start to subside, assuming it's a cold.

But is it a cold? The flu? Or Something Worse?
