What Are The Symptoms Of Flu?

I had experienced sinus drainage for 2 days after going to an event and was cold in the joint went to bed woke up with a fever and a burning when I tried to clear thoart did not have a cough no aches. just scary with the deep burning Went to the Dr said I had type B flu did not prescribe any meds took my own meds after fever broke feel better still trying to get the sinus drainage up some but not a lot. I wonder if I have the flu at all He did a swab but when came back into room said he did not say it was positive said I think what we have here is Type B flu said to drink plenty of fluids I feel better today after last night

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Flu symptoms are:

•     Headache
•     Running nose
•     Blocked nose
•     Mild to moderate fever
•     Body ache
•     Brow pain
•     Sometimes sore throat.

As treatment is conservative most of the time in regular flu, you can take paracetamol tablet 8 hourly for headache and fever along with Levocetrizine tablet 12 hourly for running nose. Take steam inhalation to reduce nasal inflammation and blockage.

I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Regards,
Dr. Hiren Hirpara
