It sounds more like the flu. If you really want an answer, I would go to the doctor, because that could be either a really bad cold, or a mild flu, or something else! Good Luck! Get Better!

i have the same thing right now and just went to the hospital yesterday and they said its just a virus. take ibuprofin every 6 hours and take throat losenges to take down the swelling in your throat. get lots of sleep and drink plenty of water. feel better =)

Hi Dear

It is viral Flu. Medication will just prolong the agony. You should feel better in 3 days. There is no medication that will kill the virus it can only suppress it thus prolonging the agony
