Are Fever, Headache, Sore Throat And Body Pain Flu Symptoms?

I have flu like symptoms with fever, headache, sore throat, swollen glands and body aches for 7 days and now I have a rash on my torso, only one side however I have had shingles before. Is it the flu or could it be something else. The rash does not hurt, it is tiny pumps, rough like sandpaper.

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Your symptoms seem to be related to a viral infection.
I recommend using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen three times a day.
I also recommend to drink liquids and eat a healthy diet.
I also recommend to rest.

Hope my answer was helpful.

Kind regards!
