[|Human|] Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ?  Please type your query here..i have been down with cold and flu for 4 days now with runing nose strong deep cough,  tiredness but with low grade temperature. i am still coughing badly still feel tired and run down. what kind of cold virus this could be? While I was down,  I  had also developed a very strong sense of Lard smell derived from pigs fat. As I am now recovering I do not have that feeling of pig smell.  Any connection here because after all it is called swine flu?  Swine must overwhelm us in some way in that condition. V Sharma
[|AI|]  Hi thanks for asking question in Chat Doctor. No the name not given because of smell, the virus transmitted through pig so name given. You have symptoms of influenza virus infection.It's recovering now, so no worry. As far as swine flu concerned presentation is same that of any viral influenza infection like headache, muscle pain, joint pain, sore throat, fever etc. Maintain your health with nutritional diet and more fruits. Chat Doctor. The swine flu confirmed by taking throat swab and examination for virus by PCR. I hope I have solved your query well. Thanks.happy to help you.
