At the H1N1ResponseCenter website, just type in your age (you must be more than 12) and answer some questions about fever and other symptoms and your underlying health. Presto! The program may conclude you’ve probably got the swine flu…and then decide if you need to see the doctor or just take it easy at home with fluids and plenty of chicken soup.
