Have i got a cold or the flu?

Question

hi i was wondering if i have a cold or the flu.

i had a cold a few weeks ago and this feels different.

symptoms:

earache and weird creaky noise in ears

sore throught

nearly loss of voice

headache

VERY drowsy (can barely stay awake literally)

chesty cough

and a few hours ago i went to a university open day and randomly started to break out into a cold sweat and got dizzy like i was about to faint and i started crying it was pretty embarrassing... O_o

is it just a bad cold? i am 16 by the way.

Answer 1

I'm not positive, but it sounds like the flu to me.

Answer 2

Sounds like a chest cold to me, I get em all the time

Answer 3

looks like the flu, the cold will not make you extremely drowsy, go see your doctor to have it checked out, if you don't want to go see the doctor then try to get rest, eat soup or easily digestible food.

Answer 4

A cold does not cause headache, cold sweat or dizziness.

A headache, drowsy and dizzy could be flu or other serious disease.  If you also get a fever, see your doctor ASAP.
