both my parents seem to have the cold/flu symptoms.
is there any difference between the length of time you're ill with swine flu and normal flu?
Basically this isn't the season for normal flu and it's almost unheard of in the summer so it probably is swine flu and they need to ring the NHS helpline to get an over the phone diagnosis.
As long as they have no underlying health problems they should be fine x
If your parents are showing symptoms of flu:
Phone your GP or the national hot line…..ASAP
Do not visit the GP or surgery in person
Swine flu affects the lungs at a deeper level, so i'm guessing a harsher cough and maybe a chest infection as well as?
This makes interesting reading and explains some symptoms you get with the h1n1 flu and normal seasonal flu.

You also get diarrhea as it goes to your intestinal tract.
I would go along with the first two posts and call your doctor, or any hotline that can provide you with accurate information on Swine Flu. I've never heard of anyone getting flu in the summertime.
these are the main swine flu symptoms:
-diaorreah
-you wake up feeling ill
-very high temperature
-muscle aches and cramps especially in stomach area
-chest problems hurts when breathing etc
