Brief Answer:
Get tested if nauseous

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Both swine flu and seasonal flu do have similar symptoms.

Seasonal flu is more existent now and I doubt the same is in your wife's case.

Only if she is too much nauseous and has severe vomiting, you can opt for testing.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
