| I disagree I think, I was always told that the swine flu strain characteristics are a sudden onset cough, with sore throat too, and a temp above 38/39. xxx |

| Swine flu is just this year's marketing programme for flu designed to make us all panic and sell more vaccines
Get well soon |

| I was convinced me and Caitlin had swine flu cpl weeks ago. Startd with cough/tight chest then sore throat, sinus, aching all over. I was sweaty and exhausted on and off for 10 days or more. I looked up nhs direct and swine flu similar to other flu's the dif is it starts with a very hight temp. Dont think i did have it, ended up going to the dr's when we seemed to get worse again after being better for a week and the dr said there was a bad viral infection going about. He'd had 10 toddlers in that day all with same thing. Me & Caitlin arent vaccinated for swine flu either. All the info I read said that the treatment for it only works if given withing 48hrs of symptoms starting and reduced symptoms by 1-2 days. If you recovering fine i wouldnt worry too much. You have my sympathy, Caitlins nose still running and I still have a cough on ond off - thats since 26th Jan!!! |

| By the way the dr said with a viral infection all he could recommend was calpol/neurofen. He did sound caitlins chest and check her throat & ears to put my mind at ease about needing anti-b's but they were clear. Her nose ran green & she coughed on and off for a fortnight! Hope tay ok, x |

| Better safe than sorry with wee one's. Dr said you can see 10 toddlers and 9 will have viral infection that just needs waited out, (still miserable to have )but there will be 1 tot who needs anti-b's and some times you cant tell until they checked over. I sound like a bad mum but I actually wished caitlin had a bacterial infection as at least anti b's have them feeling better in a few days. Hope you get an appointment 2moro x |
