Symptoms of the flu????

what are the typical symptoms of the flu? and do you get pains in your kidneys and feel sick with the flu? Im trying to figure out if its the flu or a kidney infection.

Thanks

1. Fever:
A fever occurs when your body temperature increases in response to illness or injury. Your temperature is considered elevated when it is higher than 100掳F.
2. Chills:
Body chills that are not related to a cold environment can be a sign of the flu.
3. Headache:
A headache associated with the flu may appear suddenly, and be related to body aches or nasal congestion you're experiencing.
4. Extreme tiredness:
It's normal to feel tired at the end of a long day or when you don't get adequate sleep, but unexplained tiredness can be a sign of the flu.
5. Dry cough:
Know your cough. A productive cough (coughing up mucus) is common with a cold, while a non-productive or dry cough (with no mucus) is associated with the flu.
6. Sore throat
Swelling in the throat can lead to a sore throat.
7. Runny nose:
Runny nose may also occur but is more common in children than adults.
8. Muscle aches:
While it is normal to feel body aches from physical overexertion, body aches that are sudden and unexplained can be a sign of the flu.
9. Stomach symptoms:
Stomach symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea are more common in children than in adults
10. Chest discomfort:
Chest discomfort is often severe with the flu.

Also, I have included a link about kidney pain.

Good luck and get well :)

Signs and symptoms of flu:-
Initially, the flu may seem like a common cold with a runny nose, sneezing and sore throat. But colds usually develop slowly, whereas the flu tends to come on suddenly. And although a cold can be a nuisance, you usually feel much worse with the flu.
Common signs and symptoms of the flu include:
* Fever over 101 F in adults, and often as high as 103 to 105 F in children
* Chills and sweats
* Headache
* Dry cough
* Muscular aches and pains, especially in your back, arms and legs
* Fatigue and weakness
* Nasal congestion
* Loss of appetite
* Diarrhea and vomiting in children
Symptoms of kidney infection:-
* Flank pain or back pain
* Severe abdominal pain (occurs occasionally)
* Fever
# Higher than 102 degrees Fahrenheit
# Persists for more than 2 days
* Chills with shaking
* Warm skin
* Flushed or reddened skin
* Moist skin (diaphoresis)
* Vomiting, nausea
* Fatigue
* General ill feeling
* Painful urination
* Increased urinary frequency or urgency
* Need to urinate at night (nocturia)
* Cloudy or abnormal urine color
* Blood in the urine
* Foul or strong urine odor
* Mental changes or confusion *
* Sometimes in the elderly, mental changes or confusion are the only signs of a urinary tract infection.
