Sorry, too tired to spell right now.
Suggestion if you are concerned you have it is to phone your gp surgery or the nhs direct helpline (in the linky above) and they will advise on the best thing to do. Also, to take anti-virals (cold meds) if you are able to.

If you THINK you have it, then you should go and see your GP.
And no, wouldn't help as the flu is a viral infection, and the only meds available over the counter are bacterial.

Tamiflu is the antiviral given to help Swine Flu suffers. If you think you have it, call NHS direct, or your local GP. Don't go out to get them yourself.

Dont go out to your gp as you run the risk of spreading it.
Unless you have a specfic medical condtion which deplates that you have low immuntiy then i doubt they will opffer you any treatment, just let it run its course. however if your worried phone nhs direct or your gp.

If you are concerned that you may be suffering from it, even in a mild form, I would honestly advise you to get a telephone consultation with your doctor, or to call NHS direct as soon as possible, as The antiviral (Tamiflu) can only be started within 48 hours of the symptoms starting.
