flu be cold

Hi all. My daughter had the flu last week. Over the weekend I started feeling pretty crappy; headache, stopped up, runny nose, sneezing, a lot of pressure in my ears. At night I have to sleeep sitting up because I cannot breath. I'm not coughing, except at night. Could this possibly be the flu as we're ttc I'd like to catch it asap or does it just sound like the common cold/allergies?
