Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Swine flu also start like usual flu with sore throat, fever , nausea etc. Later on respiratory discomfort is more in case of swine flu. Only way to find it out is throat swab. But it is not good to wait till that. As you had recent history of contact better to take anti viral drug oseltamivir. This is usually given 75 mg twice daily for 7 days for those who are being suspected for swine flu.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
