Would this be just the flu?

On Friday, I woke up and my tongue was aching. It hurt me to swallow anything, and the lining(?, I don't know that it's called, but the white fluffy stuff on your tongue) seemed to disappear, and is now all dark pink. Just little patches, my ears also ache.

My friend said he had the same thing and on the second day, all the symptoms stopped and he vomited.

Right now its my fourth day, and yesterday I could only just feel everything. I feel a little queasy, but that probably from all the chocolate.

I talked to my mum and she said its just the flu, but I'm just a little curious. Has anyone had the same thing recently?

Thanks x

I dont want to scare you but have you had oral sex lately? it could be an std...or if not it could be strep throat...I would go to the doc about sum thing like that. please take care!

:/ I have not have oral sex.
I highly doubt it would/COULD be an STD. To be honest, I'm so lame that I've never kissed a male before.
