There is no way to know without specific lab testing that is only done in very limited laboratories. The rapid tests done in the field are only indicative of Type A or Type B influenzas but not the specific strains. The symptoms are the same as most other types of influenza, so without lab tests, there is no way to know for sure. But, there is no need to know for sure in most cases, since the treatment is the same regardless of the specific type.
