What are the signs of catching the swine flu going around?


I am really freaked out that it's going to come to Washington. Someone threw up the other day, and everyone is coughing like nuts, it's really freaking me out, I don't like going to school because this guy keeps coughing on me on purpose and I am really scared as helllll from catching the swine flu.
What are the symptons that let you know if you have it?

Like regular human flu, symptoms of swine flu include: fever, lethargy (that means tiredness), lack of appetite and coughing. There might also be a runny nose, coughing, sore throat, vomiting and diarrhea.
To prevent catching swine flu, wash your hands regularly. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers and wipes will do fine as well. Also, stay away from people that exhibit the aforementioned symptoms. You can not catch swine flu by eating pork or pig-based products.
If you do catch swine flu, don't panic. It is very likely that you will recover from it. Go to the doctor, and he/she will provide you with either Tamiflu (oseltamivir) or Relenza (zanamavir). So far, few people have died.
Hope you stay healthy.

you cannot tell the difference between the swine flu and a regular flu they have the same symptoms upper respiratory soreness and a temperature. If you get the same symptoms of the flu and a temperature of 100.4 or more go to your doctor they are the only ones who can tell if it is the swine flu or a regular one. Don't take any chances right now. hope this helps

don't get too panicky! I say this because I DID. Both of my sone woke up this morning with fevers, headaches, vomitting, etc. So I rushed them to the dr's. Turns out one has a sinus infection, and the other strep. While both are pretty sick, I jsut thank God it wasnt the swine flu!

Even if you do get it, it's treatable. So don't worry!

symptoms are: headache, runny nose, sore throat, fever or chills,cough, body aches,lack of appetite, nausea,vomiting,or diarrhea
hope you found what you're looking for! don't catch it. glad i dont have this symptons.
