Brief Answer:
Hard to tell on the basis of symptoms
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query.
Your symptoms are viral and flu-like. But it is hard to tell if it is swine flu.
Swine flu tests are available in government hospitals and some private labs. Recommendations are to do it only in severe cases.
I would suggest that you wait and watch. If your symptoms improve over a period of 2 - 3 days then you do not need testing.
For next year take the vaccine for swine flu in november.
