Sunday night my stomach was bothering me and I wound up throwing up a few times for bed, which is rare for me. Yesterday I woke up feeling kind of "blah" with a very dry cough and a sore throat. By last night I had a fever and severe chills and the cough had become productive. I've been pretty much bed ridden since, sleeping an hour here or there, or laying there with my eyes closed waiting for the ickyness to stop. My muscles ache, my exhaustion is extreme, and my fever has been 100-101 since about 7pm yesterday. I would say this is a flu, but I have -no- nasal symptoms. No stuffiness, no running, no sneezing. I'm just hacking up horrible stuff. My boyfriend (who is "done" with my health anxiety at this point) basically says its a virus and to chill out.. but I'm concerned it's something worse. I don't want to run to the doctor for antibiotics, as i just finished a round for an infected impacted wisdom tooth last week. What do you think? Cause for concern or just a virus? Have you ever had a flu without sneezing/runny nose?
