Yesterday I was perfectly fine. This morning, I started coughing. I think it was because my friend yesterday was coughing a little. Today, at school, we both coughed quite a bit. I thought that I could just dismiss it, and it'll go away eventually. Last night, I searched for symptoms of the swine flu. "The symptoms of this new H1N1 flu virus in people are similar to the symptoms of seasonal flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue." Source: link I took a nap before, and when I woke up I was still coughing, but a little worse this time, sore, and my body aches,fatigue, and my face feels like it's burning up. So, do I have swine flu, and should I tell my mom? (It's spring in New York)

You're not going to know until you go see a doctor.

go see a doctor most likely yes, if you don't tell your mom you might die.

I'd go tell your mom, just to be safe. Let her be the judge of wether or not you're being paranoid.

And try to spread the disease if you do have it so school could be closed !

TheComplement said: "Uhm what do you mean it's winter in New York? It's summer now" Spring, actually. @above, the Disease Center (or whatever) doesn't recomment closing schools anymore. So he got it too late for that.

If you're in New York, I would get it checked out and have your friend get checked if you end up having it.

you won't die by swine flu. It's like the common flu that almost every gets ever year and if you haven't died from that then you won't die from the swine flu.

If you can move, your fine. Swine flu victims can barely move.

Lol, oops, I meant summer. Summer reminded me of my science teacher saying it's cold in the summer in the southern hemisphere. Edit: Feels like summer to me :P
