Did I get Swine Flu While I was in Washington, DC?!?!?!?
I just came back from my trip to Washington DC and unfortunately my friends and I had to walk in the rain without any warm jackets. The next day I got a runny nose and a slight cough/sore throat. I did fall asleep a couple of times on the bus, but that's because we had to walk almost everywhere! Also on the flight back home(which is San Francisco)i fell asleep but that's probably because it was around 8-10pm at night . I'm worried that I might have or get swine flu. Can you tell me if I might have swine flu and what are the symptoms(if fever is one of the symptoms tell me in Farenheit). Just saying but I'm 12 years old. I don't wanna die young I wanna be with my friends and my...........crush. : ) And his name is Kyle. : ) ok now i'm going to the bathroom more is that bad?

No, you're overreacting, lol. You're just catching a cold because you walked in the rain. Also, I live in San Francisco too so if I did get it then please don't spread it! Didn't mean to scare you there! You shouldn't worry about it. The symptoms are far more worst then what you been experiencing.

dont u think its just stupid to ask help online , no doctor would be able to come in to conclusion without examining the patient real , or checking the blood results , may be u should go to the hospital and get help from the professionals

Treat swine flu like the flu (influenza virus). It is really no worse, just a new strain. Do you have flu symptoms? Then take flu medication. Or better yet, talk to your doctor. That said: NO, you don't have Swine Flu.
9 :
Probably not. The symptoms are a sore throat, hoarseness, fever, chills, aches. If you have these go to the dr. and they will take a culture and send it off to CDC for testing. Overly tired sounds like what you have, but if you think you need to go to the dr. don't hesitate.

they have hyped up this swine flu thing, in the US all swine flu is is a flu. when you get it, you just go to the doctor and get it treated. its not like in mexico where if you get it you its hard to treat.. i think everyone needs to stop freaking out about it. and no i dont think you have it. diarrhea, vomiting, fever are symptoms.
11 :
there are symptoms such as fever cough or sore throat, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, chills, fatigue. Conjunctivitis is rare, but has been reported. so if you notice any of them then i would go straight to the doctor's/hospital so they can check you out.

13 :
If your worried, ask your local GP. Well, I hope you dont die - I dont even know you, but it will be unfortunate to die at 12!
