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.
