Are Chills, Sweats, Cough, Shoulder Pain Normal In Flu?
Hi, I have been suffering from the flu (?) since Wed. I have had fever, chills, sweats, terrible cough and yesterday my right arm muscle from the shoulder to the elbow became very weak. I am having trouble lifting the arm. Is this normal when you get the flu?
