Brief Answer:
Please describe your symptoms

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
I have gone through your query and medical history; and suggest you that you may be suffering from the viral disease.
For this you may take mild painkiller with vitamin C 500 mg three times a day.

But I personally suggest you that please describe your symptom one by one with duration to reach the near diagnosis and exclusion of other disease.

For your kind information flu like symptoms are broad term and it may include

1. A 100 degree F or higher fever.
2. A cough and/or sore throat.
3. A runny nose.
4. Headaches and/or body aches and
5. Nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea.

Thanks
