How Do You Know You Have Swine Flu?

I just read in the paper today that the seasonal flu really hasn't hit at all yet, so if you have flu symptoms, it's H1N1 (swine flu).  My 16 year old son had it a month ago, and he was very sick for over 10 days.  It started with a terrible headache, then sore throat, with extreme fatigue, weakness, body aches all over, and very high fever lasting many days.  He got a nasty cough that seemed to come out of nowhere since he never really had cold symptoms until much later.  This turned into a bad secondary infection within a couple days and the doctor diagnosed it as a chest infection and prescribed strong antibiotics which took 3 whole days to start helping.  I really think it was the beginning stages of pneumonia and we were lucky to catch it early.  If your child gets extremely sick with any sort of breathing difficulty or a severe cough with tons of mucus, my best advice is to see your doctor a.s.a.p.

Well, if you are feeling very sick for  the past week and your not feeling better, consult your doctor, oh and you will have coughs, a stuffy nose, you will feel like your body is aching and that you sweat constantly and your temperature is going high, you have the swine flu.

Influenza ordinarily is a respiratory illness with fever, headache, sore throat, nasal stuffiness and cough. And body aches are real common. Headlines state that a  lot of people are worrying about having the swine flu. Doctors are saying that the flu and the swine flu are very similar. Chances are you don't have it. But the good news is that its not as bad in the USA.

Are you aware when you have the flu because the swine flu is similar to it but only somewhat worse. The flu is like a very bad cold and so is swine flu. Just go to the hospital if you think you have it.

The sysptoms of the swine flu are the same sysptoms of the flu, but in time it gets a lot more severe then the flu can get. It grows and becomes more effective in your body quickier then just the regular flu.

My 6 year old had the swine flu last week. My 2 year old,husband, and myself got it now. It started with a bad cough for 2-3 days, then fever and chills. Given tamiflu. Its only been 5 days since emergency room and already feeling better. The government is making to big of deal over this. It is the flu just a different strain.

Well...
Basically if you eat pork or pig stuff, you get swine flu.
If you have sore throute or cough a lot or sweat and you feel all funny. Then you should contact your doctor.
If you see ppl caughing and stuff don't go near them.
If you touch the poles on buses n stuff your likely to ge swine flue:o:o.
Also keep away from pork n stuff this is usually and pigs disease.
Trust me =)
