Should I Get A Flu Shot For Coughing, Post Nasal Drip And Fever After Recovering From Sore Throat?

I got a sore throat Jan. 2. It has gone away but I still have a cough, post nasal drip, and am very tired. I had a fever last night and slept for 12 hours. I feel a bit better now, altho still resting. Should I go get a flu shot? or is it to late for me to get a flu shot?

Hello

I dont think you need a flu shot!!
Instead it looks like your sinuses have got infected and you may need antibiotics for the same.Please meet your doctor for examination and further advice.You can start steam inhalation 3-4 times a day , that will help.
Thanks
