I am wondering if I have the flu or a viral infection? It began with sore throat and swollen glands a week ago. The next day I had a fever, bad headache and stomachache. This past week I had a bad cough and a low grade fever. I also had low energy. When I ate a big meal, I especially felt sick. Today I felt especially sick, and although I was out walking in a strange town, I vomited right there in someone s yard. I don t know what is going on.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Flu and viral infection are same-day things. Flu is caused by influenza virus. And all your symptoms are commonly seen with viral infection like flu. So Chat Doctor.  Avoid oily and spicy food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. Take pantoprazole and risperidone combination on empty stomach twice daily for vomiting. Take levocetrizine and paracetamol combination twice daily for coughing and sore throat. Avoid heavy exertion. Take proper rest. Take sound sleep of 6-8 hours.Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
