flu getting worse not better

After 4 days my fever finally dropped below 101.. but still every day I'm feeling much worse. I'm a little amazed how bad I feel right now. The main thing now is actually pain... In my throat & sinuses... I don't remember ever experiencing anything like it before. Can't sleep for it, been up 2 nights... Can't eat many things. It really hurts to breathe so I'm just shallow breathing out of my mouth. I can tolerate this and get to the other side but I'm starting to get scared. Wondering if anyone's had a flu turn into something more serious.. Seems possible given our suppressed immune systems? I'm consoled that my fever is going down, because it seems like an infection would be accompanied by a fever.

The sore throat wasn't this bad at first, so I'm thinking it's not strep?

Sorry you are feeling so bad. Should you get checked out by a Dr. especially for the fever? Take a fever reducer and pain med and drink plenty of fluids and rest as much as you can. This too shall pass- this is becoming my motto...Take care.
