flu like symptoms and extxream fatigue for about a week???????

I just got over pnemonia 3 months ago. At the beginning of this week i started feeling pretty tired but i figured it was stress so i took a nap but it ended up being six hours long. when i woke up i felt generally fluish with chills and body aches. this went on for a couple days… i toughed out classes but on thursday i woke up with a soar throat almost throbbing with a 101 temp. My temp has been going up and down from 101.5 – 103 for the past three days. Its back at 101 today. I have a mild, non-productive cough but its only irritating my throat more. I’ve stayed out of class for 2 days and called the doc. she said its probably a virus. but i can’t seem to stay awake for more than 6 or 7 hours a day. Anyone with any advice or know how long these sypmtoms will last or even what they are would be a big help. I don’t have a medical history – no asthma, not a smoker, not pregnant or diabetic.
Thanks.

sometimes the flu can last for a few weeks. the only thing you should do at this stage is make sure you don’t have a bacterial infection called strep throat. if you haven’t already done so, get a throat swab for a rapid-strep test or better yet, a culture for strep (culture is gold standard for diagnosing strep). as long as you don’t have strep throat, you’ll eventually recover. if you do have strep throat, you need to take antibiotics.
