How To Confirm If The Following Symptoms Are Related To Swine Flu?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here..i have been down with cold and flu for 4 days now with runing nose strong deep cough, tiredness but with low grade temperature. i am still coughing badly still feel tired and run down. what kind of cold virus this could be? While I was down, I had also developed a very strong sense of Lard smell derived from pigs fat. As I am now recovering I do not have that feeling of pig smell. Any connection here because after all it is called swine flu? Swine must overwhelm us in some way in that condition. V Sharma
