Can you help us with more info please.
How long have you been keto?
Are you on top of your electrolytes?

Ive been carb /sugar free for about about 4 weeks now. I’ve been drinking a lot of water. Eating a lot of cheese I was drinking a lot of La Croix & I wasnt drinking very much water. But I’m drinking 4-5 water bottles a day now. I woke up with a sore throat cold and cough.

At 4 weeks in, with the symptoms you described, it sounds like you have a literal cold or flu 
.
The term keto flu is a misnomer, it’s not actually a flu at all, just carb withdrawals.
You need to get plenty of sodium, potassium and magnesium (these are your electrolytes) to help you push past carb withdrawals.
Rest up, be kind to yourself and nourish your body well. At four weeks in you’ve probably lost some weight too, fat cells hold onto oestrogen and when they are released, so is the oestrogen. This can cause some folk to get a bit weepy but it should stabilise.
Hugs your way, hope you feel much better soon!

Dont over do it with the water, the more u drink the more ur body flushes out salts u then need to replenish, just drink normal ammounts and have pinches of salt thru out the day.
