Good query Satyandra.
Many people are confused between swine flu and the seasonal viral flu, both of which do have similar cold symptoms. Swine flu sympotoms also include a cough & fever. From what I have read, in the case of viral flu, the fever generally subsides after 2-3 days with proper medication. In the case of swine flu, it is said that the fever may recur, in which case you must immediately get a swine flu test done.
Note that swine flu is curable & must be detected early. No need for unnecessary panic.

Hello Styendra,
Don't panic about Swine Flue, It's like other common flu:
Difference between Common Flu & Swine Flu
Common Flu:
Caused due to Common Influenza Virus through Air. If anyone have Pneumonia then it become dangerous otherwise not. It can spread from one to other by Cough & deep relations.
Symptoms for common flue are Fever-Tirdness-Diaria-Thorat pain etc. 6-7 Days needed to recover from Common Flu. Old-Citizen, Kids, Pregnant Lady has the more chance to get affected.

Swine Influenza (swine flu) is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by Type A influenza viruses that causes regular outbreaks in pigs.
Swine flu viruses have been reported to spread from person-to-person, but in the past, this transmission was limited and not sustained beyond three people.
The symptoms of swine flu in people are similar to the symptoms of regular human flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue.
Some people have reported diarrhea and vomiting associated with swine flu. In the past, severe illness (pneumonia and respiratory failure) and deaths have been reported with swine flu infection in people.
Like seasonal flu, swine flu may cause a worsening of underlying chronic medical conditions.
Simple cold and Cough does not have fever and will vanishes soon after some medical supervision.

Swine Influenza (swine flu) is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by Type A influenza viruses that causes regular outbreaks in pigs.
Swine flu viruses have been reported to spread from person-to-person, but in the past, this transmission was limited and not sustained beyond three people.
Various international agencies (US Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, World Health Organization) have determined that this swine influenza A (H1N1) virus is contagious and is spreading from human to human.
WHO has escalated the world Pandemic Phase from Phase 3 to Phase 4 (in a 6-scale Phase), indicating that a worldwide pandemic due to swine flu H1N1 is possible.
The symptoms of swine flu in people are similar to the symptoms of regular human flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue.
Some people may have diarrhea and vomiting associated with swine flu.
To diagnose swine influenza A infection, a respiratory specimen would generally need to be collected within the first 4 to 5 days of illness (when an infected person is most likely to be shedding virus).
Identification as a swine flu influenza A virus requires sending the specimen to a hospital laboratory for testing.
Infected people may be able to infect others beginning 1 day before symptoms develop and up to 7 or more days after becoming sick.
People with swine influenza virus infection should be considered potentially contagious as long as they are symptomatic and possible for up to 7 days following illness onset.
