Fever, sorethroat, headache with productive cough. Treatment.

Resolved question:
Hello, I woke up Friday with a fever of 101, ache, sore throat and headache. The symptoms have gradually improved, however, I'm still very lethargic and now have a slightly productive cough, mostly at night. I have asthma and seem to be prone to bronchitis and pneumonia. I've been taking mucinex for fever, nasal and chest congestion and cough. I'm wondering:
- if I should wait it out or see a physician?
-if it's possible that I have the flu, even though I had the vaccine?

Hello,
Thank you for your query to DoctorSpring.com
I can understand your anxiety over the abdominal pain you are currently experiencing.
I would like to ask a few questions to help you better,
1)Has the pain worsened in the last 6 hours?
2)Is this pain different from your normal menstrual cramps?
3)What dosage of ibuprofen did you take? What i syour weight?
4) Are you experiencing any of the following symptoms? nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, blurred vision, and dizziness. These symptoms point towards ibuprofen toxicity which would depend on the total dosage you took
5)Do you routinely take ibuprofen? If yes, how many how often?
I look forward to your reply,
