You may have any type of flu, not just H1N1/09 "Swine Flu" or it could just be the common cold. Usually, the flu causes very achy muscles, a feeling that things just aren't right, and you feel tired, more so than the common cold. Also, the flu usually causes a fever that is above 101F, colds usually only have fevers under 101F.
See the related question below for more information of the difference between colds and the flu.
Swine flu has typical flu symptoms, so you won't be able to tell if it is that type of flu or another without specific lab testing that is usually not done unless you require hospital care. Specimens must be sent off to the CDC labs to have them tested to confirm "swine flu". There are field lab tests that prove that what you have is a type of flu, but they don't specify which type. The treatment is the same for any type of influenza, so most doctors are diagnosing based on the symptoms and on the absence or presence of the H1N1/09 virus in the area.
