How can you tell the difference between swine flu and the regular seasonal flu?
BySo I’m feeling super sick, and I know it’s either the flu or the swine flu, and my question is how do I know which one it is? Of course, I know there’s a not a significant difference between either, and either one will suck just as much as the other. I’m just curious, thanks!

You can’t. The only way you can find out is by a test (doctor, hospital, etc)

I found out that there is a difference. I’ve have both the swine and the regular flu. Infact, I currently I have swine flu again.
With swine flu, you can’t move all that well. I actually have to get my Mom to come help me around. The regular flu, you can move, but, it just really hurts.
The only way, though, to truly know is to get tested.

I have swine flu and the doctor told me this:
There really is no difference, except swine flu tends to make the body a lot weaker and you can’t move around a lot. Swine flu is basically a different type of the regular flu ( when people say “regular flu”, there really isn’t one type of “regular flu”, there is many kinds but we just reffer to it as the flu)

They can tell by a blood test, if you have the flu now according to the CDC it’s most likely swine flu. Flu season goes from now until may.
