Do you have a temperature? a cough? muscle aches? sorethroat? runny nose? D and V? If not then no you don't have swine flu, you have a hangover!
However, if you do go on to develop any of the above, call nhs direct or your GP who will get a swine flu team to call you.
Hope you feel better soon

yes it is diarreah and vomiting. Alcohol can make you have diarreah the next day. Swine flu, is we must remember flu. It appears to be serious in some and not in others, which is in fact, like ordinary seasonal flu! Apart from the recommended hygiene procedures, there is very little anyone can do to prevent us from contracting it. Try not to worry to much. You could get it and deal with it like any other flu you may get at any time and wonder what all the fuss was about. I had flu a few weeks ago and just assumed it was flu, I did not go to the dr and apart from obvious cold and flu treatments, did not have any other medication for it. I have since been told by a medical practioner, that as it is not the season for a flu type illness I would have been confirmed with swine flu had I seen my gp. Every one in my household also had it. We are scared because the media are making us scared. Would you be so worried of ordinary seasonal flu? If you get it you will deal with it and if you don't then continue your life as normal.

Now that I am completely with you on. I also have a very young child with some symptoms, and a confirmed case at his nursery, so I know how you feel. Be vigilant with the little ones.
