I'm currently working for the Boots Swine Flu Team and want to give you information on the symptoms of swine flu, and what to do if you think you've got it.

The two main symptoms of Swine Flu are a sudden fever (a body temperature of 38 degrees Celsius/ 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or above) and a sudden cough.
