Usually you have to go on the symptoms. But there are tests that can confirm the presence of the flu, they are just not specific to the strain of flu. To know the specific strain, the specimen is sent off to esoteric labs that specialize in these types of special tests, which takes too long, usually, to wait to begin treatment. Treatment is for the symptoms, since there is no cure for the flu. See the related questions for more information.
