I did get a flu shot a couple months ago
Brief Answer:
That is good cause if you had the flu shots a couple months ago..
Detailed Answer:
and this is indeed influenza, your symptoms will not be as severe. As you know, a flu shot does not guarantee that you do not get the influenza virus. What it assures is a less severity course of the symptoms. However what you telling me with the symptoms you are getting really does sound like influenza. Take ibuprofen for the body aches and give it 48 hours it should clear on its own. You should be able to continue doing your normal daily activities, however if this is not the case, you may need to go and get seen by a doctor to affirm the diagnosis. Thanks
