Flu Symptoms?

For the past 2 days i've had on and off flu symptoms. when i came home from school on Tuesday my back and thighs ached so bad all i did was lie on the couch for several hours with a heating pad, sleeping. i had a slight hallucination during that time period too, creepy iknow. i keep going up and down from a 101.1 fever, and i still feel aches in my back and very fatigued. ive missed 2 days of school already. when i wake up my throat is very sore. are these flu symptoms--my doctor said i probably only have a virus cuz peoplewith the flu usually are worse off then me. should i stay out of school again tommorow or suck it up?

Yes, stay out of school until you no longer are running a temp. Take Tylenol and make sure you're getting a lot of fluids. It's easy to get dehydrated and that will make you feel even worse. Keep a glass by your bed and try to get a glass of water down every hour while you're awake. Get lots of rest.

If your symptoms change go back to the doctor. If your temp goes up, you start having headaches or a stiff neck, call the doctor.

There's no point in wandering around sick. You may pass it on to other people. You'll prolong the illness if you don't take proper care of yourself. Good luck.

You have a virus if you have the flu. It's caused by the influenza virus. If you are really that sick, stay home. It's not just a matter of how you feel, but of how many other people you may infect by going to school and spreading your germs around.

You should stay home and stay in bed you need rest and keep taking tylenol or something like it if you are having a fever,of course drink all the fluids you can too.
