I took my daughter to the doctor 2 weeks ago with a high fever and no other symptoms other than she was tired. They tested her for the regular flu and it came back negative so they said it must be Swine Flu and prescribed her Tamiflu. I asked about testing her for swine and they said now that they know it is in the area, they do not send out samples to be tested anymore. They said it would take 2 weeks to get the results back from the CDC even if they would send it out for testing. My husband went to the doctor today with a 102 degree fever and body aches. They tested for the regular flu and it was negative so they treated him for swine also with Tamiflu. I guess they are not testing anymore....that is frustrating.
Possible but the viruses are very similar, if your body is already fighting seasonal flu chances are it will be more effective at combating swine flu anyway.

Swine Flu
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.
