What is the difference between swine flu and regular cough?

Reader question: Ok... so I'm really paranoid about getting the swine flu because my brother and my mom both have it. I was sick over the weekend but not with the flu (a sort of tired out/headache/chill combo) and am better. Now, however, I have an irritation in my throat and cough once in a while. I know both my brother and mom had a cough at the beginning too but I am wondering if there is any way it is not swine.

  1. There is always the possibility it is nothing, just a cough. But with 2 sick with swine flu in your house, that is likely what is happening. Watch for fever, drink lots of fluids and cover when you cough. WASH HANDS well and often, too.

  2. Usually the swine is headache, fatigue, chills, fever and cough. sometimes you get better for a day and then get sick again. sounds like you already have it.

  3. It sounds like you got it but are already getting better, if your cough gets worse you’ll need medicine from your doctor to get fully better.
