Hello! I am a 22 year old male, average body weight, good health. I do not take any medicine, I only take multivitamins, flax seed oil, protein powders.

About 4-5 days ago I started to get a fever, body aches, headaches, coughing up green/yellow phlegm, etc. I never took any medicine for these problems yet.

My fever was its highest (102 F) a couple days ago, but now my fever is non existent, starting today. Yesterday my temp would go from 98 to 100.1, but today its been around 98 so far. However, I am still coughing up phlegm but now its mostly only yellow, my eyes hurt when I look to the extremes (extreme left, up down, right), when I cough my head pounds, my nose is runny, and my body still aches.

I didnt go to the doctors yet because I am waiting for my insurance to kick in from my new job.

Should I wait and hope everything will be alright with me? I was thinking that since my fever is gone that is good, but I just dont know what I should be doing about the other problems, and if I should be worrying about them.

Thank you for any help, and thanks for your time.
