It may be a bad cold, but I doubt it's the flu. The flu is most often accompanied by terrible headaches, a high fever (in excess of 101), and severe sweats and chills. It usually starts with a slight cough because it's airborne and passed through our respiratory sytems. Plus, once you've had the annual flu, you shouldn't get it again in the same year because of the antibodies - that's the basic idea behind the flu shot.
If you catch the real flu within the first few days, docs have stuff that can cut the virus' reproductive ability and shorten the duration.
