if it's aching, it could be. these are the symptons of swine flu: * headaches * bodyaches * vomiting * diarrhea (i can't spell it, ok?) * coughing * sneezing * runny nose * a high temperature (about 101F or 41C) Your stiff neck probably isn't a sign saying that you've got Swine Flu but if you've got the rest of the symptons, you could.

Depending on the degree of swelling, it might be caused by the flu, but could be an abnormal response to the infection or due to something else. Sore throats are common symptoms of flu and common colds, but there is not always swelling along with the redness and soreness. Usually the flu causes no more swelling than you would get with a bad sore throat from a cold.

Swelling in the throat or mouth can be a sign of an allergic reaction or sensitivity to something in your environment. If it is the early stages of an allergic reaction, it would be important to seek urgent treatment. In severe allergic reactions the swelling can obstruct the windpipe (trachea) and cause marked difficulty with proper airflow to the lungs. A contact made to your PCP would be your best course of action, to ask if your specific symptoms are unusual or need treatment.

Before you call, make note of any new medicines, foods, or products you have used in recent weeks, to give the information to the doctor for his best consultation and advice. Record any fever or other symptoms you have at the same time to report to the medical professionals as well.
