Do Severe Cough, Headache And Chills Need Medical Attention?

I have been not feeling well since Sunday. It started with a mild headache and minor cough. The cough progressed on Monday and I started taking Emergency-C and Motrin on Monday. The cough got worse on Tuesday so I added MussinexDM Cough Suppressant. On Wednesday I added Throat Coat tea with everything. The more I talk the more I experience a coughing attack. Today I have some minor body ache and minor chills. I have been inside alone since Tuesday resting and sleeping a lot and drinking plenty of water, orange juice and some pomegranate juice and cold green tea. I had a flu shot the first week of Nov. is this a cold, flu, or bronchitis or should I seek medical care or am I doing everything and just need to ride this out?

You need a proper antibiotic, warm fluids, nasal decongestant, vitamins to boost that immune system to fight this out and steam inhalation. Eat well and increase hot fluid intake.
