Q: both my parents seem to have the cold/flu symptoms.is there any difference between the length of time you’re ill with swine flu and normal flu?

A: Very little because swine flu is basically flu, but the H1N1 strain. There is a difference however between a cold and the flu. With a cold you don’t tend to get a high temperature and the cough one gets with a cold is usually loose and ‘phlegmy’. A runny nose is also not a common feature of the flu- but can sometimes happen. The symptoms of the flu tend to last for about 5 days, but the fatigue feeling can last for longer.If it sounds like your parents have the flu and not a cold then it’s probably swine flu because there is no seasonal flu doing the rounds at the moment. Seasonal flu peaks between December and March.
