I want to know because my parents keep saying that i might have swine flu but i don't think i have it because all i have is a red throat. I've had it for three days and its starting to subside alittle bit. I just wanna know if its possible to only have one symptom and still have it.
It is UNLIKELY. the CDC – that is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – say the following are the symptoms of H1N1 ("swine") flu:
The symptoms of 2009 H1N1 flu virus in people include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea. People may be infected with the flu, including 2009 H1N1 and have respiratory symptoms without a fever. Severe illnesses and deaths have occurred as a result of illness associated with this virus.
no you just have strept throat, dont worry!!!! but u can go to the doctor and they will give u penicillin or antibiotics,or take matters into your own hands and invest in chliroseptic
No, but you could have a cold, post-nasal drip, step, or other things.
The symptoms of swine flu are a sudden fever (a high body temperature of 38°C/100.4°F or above), and a sudden cough. you also may have: headache, tiredness, chills, aching muscles, limb or joint pain, diarrhea or stomach upset, sore throat, runny nose, sneezing, or loss of appetite.
What you most likely been suffering from is a mild case of tonsilitis. with no other symptoms and if the swine flu had not come to be this year what would they think it was without swine flu to blame it on? Everyone is going overboard about swine flu right now. If you have the symptoms then I could see there concern, but this is not swine flu. please have your parents go to webmd.com and look up swine flu for themselves. Then they can see the symptoms and be happy that you don't have it. good luck and God Bless
I had a sore throat a few weeks ago they told me it was the regular flu. Don't get worried,everybody is going crazy if they just have 1 or 2 symptoms
You might have a viral throat infection. but go to th edr.
"could I have swine flu if i just have a sore throat and no other symptoms?" — It's very doubtful. a sore throat is a symptom shared by several conditions. Why would your parents focus on swine flu in particular?
I just read that……stuff….. posted by "js159". there is not one word of truth to it.
you probably ate some bad spinach … no worries …best be safe and get something to prevent it… what you need to do is find an old gypsy woman who will trade goods with you… bring a jar of canned hams and trade it for a vile of unicorns blood … take that vile and mix it with 3/4 cup of vinegar and a tablespoon of NyQuil … microwave on high for 2 1/2 to 3 min…rotate… then microwave for an additional 30 sec to 1 min… then let stand for 2 min… stir …then take the mixture and rub it on your belly once every 3 hours for 7 days… then call your doctor if symptoms persist…
