POSTED BY Cleveland Clinic
Because of its similarity to other forms of influenza, swine flu cannot be diagnosed only on the basis of symptoms. Your health care provider will take a sample of mucus from your throat or mucus that has been coughed up. The doctor will send the sample to a laboratory for testing.
