If.you start to get a high fever or your symptoms get worse then I would call but you should start to feel better in a few days.

Other illness can mimic flu but they tend to be rare in comparison to flu. Definitely watch how you feel and decide when you feel like you are worsening.

You could always call your doctors triage nurse (most practices have them now) for a second opinion.
