What Causes Fever Along With Sore Throat And Body Ache?

This is a long story but I’m hoping someone can help me. Around the end of August I came down with what I thought to be a chest infection (constant cough with a lot of phlegm, body aches, tired, runny nose), which I never went to the doctor for. It lasted until mid to end of November. I never felt 100%, as the cough with phlegm would not go away no matter what over the counter meds I took. Still to this day, when I lay down to go to sleep, the cough with phlegm returns. I was starting to feel better, even with the lingering cough at night, and today came down with what seems to be flu like symptoms. Sudden fever of 100, with a very sore throat and body aches, congestion, etc. I’m wondering if this had something to do with the previous illness, or if I just have a common cold.
