Your mother may also be coming down with viral pneumonia

flu tests can be done at the physicians office to determine , these can be anything from a resp infection to the flu , generally The flu does not cause a temp however if a secondary infection sets up then a temp can be with it .

sounds like the flu. it's going around everywhere! this year's flu shot was off strand so it didn't really help everyone.

Very likely. Fever and cough are pretty common with Influenza. Aches can be at times. Good thing she has an appt! Be sure and ask for a rapid flu test.

Remember, rest, fluids...it sounds repeatative, but it is SO needed!!
