Flu making me quite anxious

[Shyplane]

So at the start of this week I noticed myself to have the flu. Woke up for work and body was hurting EVERYWHERE, had a headache, fever and severe chills.

At first I wasn't nervous, but now that I'm on day 4 and I still have the majority of all my symptoms, I'm beginning to fear its something worse.

Just looking for some help to keep me away from google

It's gotta be the flu, honestly. It is a virus and can take up to 2 weeks to be out of your system. Get some rest, drink fluids, and you will start to feel better.

'Proper' flu lasts several days before you start to feel better. A few years ago I had swine flu and had a temperature of 40° every day for 8 days, plus the chills, aches etc. It does take a while to subside though, so I certainly wouldn't be worrying on day 4. As swgrl09 says, make sure you keep yourself hydrated and try not to do too much.
