How many of the symptoms do you have to have to know that you have Swine Flu?

You could have only a few or all of them. You do not have to have all of them with your infection. It would be likely that you have the flu if you have fever, cough, body aches and a general feeling of being unwell. Since all types of the flu have similar or exact same symptoms, you can not be sure even if you know you have the flu if it is Swine Flu or not without lab testing. This is usually not done and is considered an unnecessary expense in most cases of non-hospitalized patients since the treatment would be the same regardless of the exact kind of flu.
