My friend is sick...PLEASE help?
Now, I think she just has a cold, and we're trying to find out what kind of medicine she should take. but this is how she describes her symptoms: I'm cold, but sweating. My body aches everywhere. My throat hurts a little and I'm sensitive to touch. Everything about it screamed regular cold, until I got to "sensitive to touch" could it be something else? and what should she take?

Symptoms are more consistent with the flu. All you can do is treat the symptoms - Tylenol for fever and aches. Drinking LOTS of fluids is important - dehydration can make you feel worse than the actual virus.
If she develops a severe cough that won't stop, she needs to see her doctor. Flu can easily cause pneumonia to occur.
