If not, then it's not the flu. Sounds more like gastritis. If you are having some upper respiratory symptoms, but not respiratory distress (you'd know it if you had it; difficulty breathing), it may be viral syndrome, which is pretty much a URI combined with gastritis or gastroenteritis (all of the above plus diarrhea...)

Once you're feeling better, go get your flu shot.
