We did go to a Dr. and received some antibiotics to prevent against a secondary infection. If it was the swine flu, which we suspect it was, it lasts about 5-6 days with a high temp of 101-102 for a day or two, very sore throat, and the rest of the problems that come with a flu including a lousy cough.. Good news is that the more serious problems were over in 5-6 days but remain weak and tired for a few weeks afterwards. It has been mentioned that it is not as bad a the regular flu and if it was the swine flu that is right. It is over faster and a shorter time of bad effects except for being tired and weak.

It appears to me to be more dangerous to teenagers and young adults, possibly because some form of it may have appeared before and we older folks may have built some immunity to it....just my opinion, I am not a health professional.
