Thread: Is this a sign that i have the flu?

So I was going to get a flu shot this Wednesday but I guess it's to late maybe? On Sunday my throat started hurting, Monday when i went to school i was very cold, but i was wearing 4 layers of clothing. Later on in the morning my face started getting goosebumps, and i started getting dizzy when I stood up. Then in the back of my head it started hurting so every time i walked i was not feeling good even when i sit i don't feel good. i came home from school and headed right off to bed. i was really cold and i had a fever of 100.1 . i took some tylenol and it made me sleepy so i slept the whole afternoon. everytime i eat my ears hurt when i swallow food or water. i cough a little but it doesn't hurt alot when i cough. when i drink liquids in it feels cold in my body and does not feel good. and i have stuffy nose.
if i went to the doctor would they give me medication or just tell me to go home and drink lots of liquids? is this a sign that i have the flu?

or is this just a weather changing thing that is causing all or this? its been 30 F outside in Illinois

it sounds like you have strep throat.
