HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The flu should be associated with cough and cold symptoms such as sorethroat, runny nose or cough.
If these are not present, then it is not likely the flu and need to consider another diagnosis.
It is possible that you have another viral illness present but since the exact virus is not clear, it would be best to see your doctor for an assessment
I hope this helps
