I have had a severe sore throat for aprox 6 days. About days ago I started feeling really achey all over and now have full on flu symptoms (cough, congestion, head ache body aches)with the exception of NO fever. I went to the Dr. monday and they tested or strep but did not test for flu. They put me on an antibiotic but I have gotten worse after being on medicine for 3 days. I have read several articles that stated there have been many cases of H1N1 without a fever. Should I be tested and should I be concerned that my body is not fighting this off?
