Have Mild Vomiting, Fever, Chills. Seen Spotting. Problem Due To Smiley Piercing Or Pregnant?

Hello, thanks for your time. For the past 4 days I've been extremely sick. A bad cough, stuffy/runny nose, nausea, mild vomiting, no appetite, fever and chills. I think it's the flu because my boyfriend, son and a few friends have had it too. But it seems like mine is taking longer to clear up. I was wondering if maybe it might be the new piercing I got? It's called a smiley piercing, it's the little piece of skin between your gums and upper lip. It's not hurting, oozing anything or anything like that but I thought maybe my body just isn't getting better because of it? But what I'm really worried about is I started spotting out of nowhere yesterday. Since I was young I would go 6 months to a year between periods and I haven't had one since my son was born 14 months ago. I thought maybe this spotting might be signs of the beginning of pregnancy? But my boyfriend and I haven't slept together in a month and besides nausea and no appetite I don't have any other pregnancy symptoms. Anything you can tell me about all this would be so helpful. Thank you so much.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The symptoms that you are having could be related to infection caused by the piercing or pregnancy. If your periods are overdue then you need to go for a urine test to detect your status.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
