I know the swine flu gives the symptoms of sneezing, coughing and fever that a normal flu gives you. But I want to know what symptoms does the swine flu gives you besides those symptoms. Like a symptom that would let you know you have the swine flu.

I’m worried I might have it cause I I’ve had a runny nose and been coughing a lot for about a week. Also I just heard the swine flu came around close to where I live too. :(

okay so ive heard about the swine flu in mexico b4, but today at school we got notices and like warnings about the “pandemic” saying that we have to be careful because its in the bay area in south CA where our community lives. so, im probably overreacting and stuffs, but does that mean its going to spread between hundreds of people and everything!?!?!? I am really freaking out because people in downtown SJ have been heard to have it which is only 20 mins away from our community. Is it true that there’s no cure and that teenagers can easily die from it?!?!

gosh now i really regret watching I AM LEGEND lol!
all answers and information are greatly appreciated! (:

How do you diagnose swine flu and what is the accuracy of the diagnosis?

I am a bit astounded that doctors in minor clinics in Nova Scotia can claim to have diagnosed swine flu in four high-school students. Are they using some form of test like the HIV western blot, or are they just looking at these people weezing and in light of the present hysteria, saying OH MY GOD! SWINE FLU!

How is Swine Flu different from regular flu?

João Silva asked:

Seasonal Flu (regular flu) infects millions of people every year. It’s fair to say it’s a common ailment, just like a cold.
Regular flu also kills thousands of people each year…
Of all the swine flu cases I heard about, most people are getting better, just like with a regular flu.
Of course if you’re elderly or a newborn or an immunodeficient person, well, the flu might be harder to treat and may kill you, but that’s not news!

Are we panicking over nothing?
