There is not a set number of symptoms that everyone with the Swine Flu gets. It is different in each person. The most common first symptoms are cough, sore throat, sneezes, fever, and runny nose along with body aches and headaches. See the related question below for a list of all the typical symptoms.
The kind of cough is not diagnostic of Swine Flu. The swine flu has many of the same symptoms as the regular flu. You cannot tell by the type of cough what type of flu you have. Your doctor cannot even tell that. If you are displaying actual flu symptoms, your doctor can order a laboratory test to confirm or rule out the swine flu. That is the only way to receive a proper diagnosis to which flu subtype you may or may not have. See the related question below for a more detailed description of the symptoms of swine flu.

The symptoms of swine flu and normal flu are very similar, even doctors cannot tell them apart without swabbing and testing. As a result a lot of people who think they have had swine flu have probably only had normal flu.
Your best option on finding out more information on symptoms of swine flu would be to visit your local physician or Doctor. If you have access to the internet, visiting a medical website such as WebMD will familiarize you with swine flu symptoms.
The only way to know for sure that it is the H1N1/09 (swine flu) is to have lab testing. Otherwise you can only tell by symptoms which are virtually the same as regular flu. See the related question for information about the symptoms of swine flu.
Each person usually may get three to four of the symptoms, but each individual can get a different combination of them and usually not all of them. See the related question below about all the different symptoms of swine flu.
