Who's got swine flu? who's had it? Ive been trying to avoid the panic of it all, but ds2 not well the last day or two and my mum (bless her) is flapping!

What are the chances he has SF or could everyone be suspecting it just because its the first assumption at the moment?? He says he HASNT got a sore throat, or headache, but he is running a minor temp and he has what looks like a heat rash really, im not too worried but i know next to nothing about the basic symptoms of swine flu!!

There's a symptom checker on the nhs website.

But it doesn't make much difference whether its swine flu or a virus, does it? Keep him comfortable and hydrated, watch for worrying changes (e.g. laboured breathing), watch lots of TV...

Oooh thanks kif, i'll go and have a look
