Swine flu

Post by crutina »

What is a symptom that the swine flu gives you its self besides the normal flu symptoms? 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.

Oh man, you're screwed.

Not really - the only real way to know is go to a doctor and have culture done. Even if it is - most people past their teen years are recovering nicely.

Check http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Pandemic-f ... ptoms.aspx for a full description of typical symptoms and appropriate actions to take.

P.S. It doesn't sound you have it since it is usually accompanied by a high fever.

Is it a spambot, or is it a weary internet traveler that has stumbled onto our turf?

Because I'm lonely.

Nah, I had someone asking me about it elsewhere so just in case it was for real I pasted over my response.

So actually I'm lonely and lazy...
