No, you would expect to see more than one of the symptoms to think that you might have Swine Flu (Novel A-H1N1/09). See the related question below for a list of symptoms.

Since the seasonal flu strains of influenza have the same symptoms as Swine Flu you could not be certain which type of flu you have without a specific laboratory test. However, the treatment would not be different, unless you are hospitalized and then is when they would do the testing.

See the related question below for information about seeing a doctor.
