I woke up Sunday morning with a sore throat and had a bad coughing fit. I m still coughing a ton and I feel very cold, and get the chills sometimes. A few times I started to gag like I had to throw up, but didn t. I took my temp which was 98.7. Do I have the flu? If not, what is it?

My dad is a doctor but is not home yet so when he gets home I will have him see what he thinks.
