Further testing can then be done to see if it is a swine flu infection. (Samples can be sent to local and state health departments and the CDC for confirmation of swine flu, especially if a child is in the hospital.)</p> <p><a href="http://pediatrics.about.com/od/swineflu/a/409_symptoms.htm">http://pediatrics.about.com/od/swineflu/a/409_symptoms.htm</a></p>MasterflaggerMasterflaggeranswer3.0Thu, 08 Oct 2009 18:55:10 GMThttp://yedda.com/questions/swine_flu_fever_diseases_conditions_350878381140514/Swine_Flu_Symptoms_According_CDC_495332637143113?src=rss:qb:qbi
