hiya just been looking it up on the internet and they say that tamiflu tablets should be given up to 48 hours after first symptoms appear and that people who have symptoms for more than 48 hours shouldn’t be given it as it will be less effective and that most people will recover at home, so i take it we can just take normal cold/flu tablets from chemists?

I know the swine flu gives the symptoms of sneezing, coughing and fever that a normal flu gives you. But I want to know what symptoms does the swine flu gives you besides those symptoms. Like a symptom that would let you know you have the swine flu.
I’m worried I might have it cause I I’ve had a runny nose and been coughing a lot for about a week. Also I just heard the swine flu came around close to where I live too.

my parents seem to symptoms of the flu / cold.
Is there any difference in a lot of time, that is diseased swine flu and regular flu?
