I started with a small tickle in my throat this morning and now I have a complete soar throat with slight nausea after taking some daytime Tylenol. I just wanted to know if there are any recognizable differences between the regular everyday sicknesses and the Swine Flu so you can easily say for yourself that are have the Sine Flu virus. Serious answers only please.

How is Swine Flu different from regular flu?
João Silva asked:
Seasonal Flu (regular flu) infects millions of people every year. It’s fair to say it’s a common ailment, just like a cold.
Regular flu also kills thousands of people each year…
Of all the swine flu cases I heard about, most people are getting better, just like with a regular flu.
Of course if you’re elderly or a newborn or an immunodeficient person, well, the flu might be harder to treat and may kill you, but that’s not news!

Are we panicking over nothing?
