Hello! I have been through your question.
Related your concern I think that this is a viral situation (flu) and you shouldn't be concern.
During this time you should drink a lot of water, hot tea, take some rest, use acetaminophen or ibuprofen for fever and aches,oral antiseptic, and anti tussive sir.
Furthermore I suggest you to meet a doctor only if this situation last more than 4-5 days to exclude some complications.
I hope my answer helps you.
I wish you a quick recovery.
