Think you may have come down with the H1N1 swine flu? Symptoms are a sudden fever and sudden cough and if you don’t have a fever, you probably don’t have the swine flu. Other symptoms include typical flu symptoms: headache, fatigue, sore throat, chills, aching muscles, joint pain, runny nose, sneezing, diarrhea or stomach upset.

If you are still concerned after checking your symptoms, you should call your doctor who may suggest a course of antiviral treatment, especially if you have health problems or are in a high-risk group.
