I was just diagnosed by my doctor today to have the regular flu virus after going through a big swine flu scare. I have researched swine flu a lot and have every symptom associated with it. Is the only difference in terms of actual illness how much more contageous swine flu is? Is swine flu actually worse to get than the regular flu or is it just overhyped? I read a newspaper artical today that said swine flu isnt actually as life threataning as the regular flu (not that I’m dying).

I am so scared as a few cases of it have been confirmed in Doncaster where i live.
I know most cases are very mild, but i’m so scared in case my 7 month old gets it and my 2 year old.
My friend got flu like symptoms and was advised by the doctor to stay in for 5 days, and he prescribed her Tami-flu in case it was swine flu.
She came back from the carribean 2 weeks ago so the doctor didn’t want to take any risks.
But i am so terrified for my babies, Anybody any idea?

The symptoms of both are the same and I’m guessing that having the swine flu is more severe, but does anybody know the difference?
