Do I hold the swine flu? HORRIBLE flu...?

My dad got sick on Wednesday with flulike symptoms, but is now almost completely recovered.
ver, he may hold transferred the virus to me because two nights ago, my lungs started feeling heavy and occupied with mucus.

The next morning, I had severe ache, a very slight fever of 99.3, chest congestion, sore throat, chills, etc. I took one tablet of Advil, which helped slightly near the pain and fever.

Last night, it was extremely hard to sleep because it'd be cold, but once I put on a constricted blanket it was hot. I could not be comfortable, and woke up every hour or so having to either put on or embezzle off my blanket, drink water, etc.

This morning, I woke up in a worse condition. I have a fever of 103.1. My dad called a doctor, who said to take 2 Advil tablets every 6-8 hours. The first time I took it, after possibly an hour, I was feeling much better and my fever go down to 100 degrees. But it didn't do anything for my cough/sore throat/chest congestion. However, once my pain returned, I took another 2 tablets of Advil. My temperature be 102.0. After 2 and 1/2 hours, I still didn't feel any better and my temperature actually ROSE to 102.5.
finding it extremely rugged to breathe as well, and had a few mild coughing fits.

My dad doesn't think it's mandatory to see a doctor since the doctor on the phone said just to stay home and take Advil.

Also, is this swine flu or regular flu? Is there any passageway to tell?

Thanks.
Answers:    i doubt its swine flu just remember to keep cool attain a air purifier for your hose wash face and hand often if can and drink some chicken or beef broth it helps believe me ,if your having a knotty time breathing get some Vic's nasal inhaler or vapor rub or if ya can stand it do the old cheap remedy onions and vinegar boil take a towel and put it over your organizer and carefully breath it in
the only approach to tell would be to get tested by a doctor.
