Flu Symptoms? Please help?

About five days ago I felt fine, then that afternoon a high fever came on rapidly within an hour period or so. Since, I have developed the following symptoms:
a wet, phlegmy cough,
fever ranging from 99-102,
chills,
stuffy nose,
occasional sore throat,
loss of appetite,
and sort of a headache/restless feeling.
I have been self medicating since Monday (5 days ago) with the Tylenol Severe Cold, which has helped to some degree. But still 5 days later I still have a high fever of 102 and still feel pretty sick. Is this the flu, cold or is it something else?

you might have a secondary infection, you may have to see the doctor for antibiotics. Also, taking a suppressant like tylenol may work against you, high fever actually kills the virus.

turned out to be walking pneumonia actually. Report It

Sounds like the flu. Last time I had it I was sick for about 7 days with a fever nearly 103. Try to get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluids. If it still hasn't gone away or started to at least in the next few days see your doc.
