Over spring break (April 4-April 9) I went to New York City. Cases of the swine flu are now being recognized in the city and I am experiencing symptoms of an upper respiratory infection. I’m scared I’ve been exposed. How long after exposure to swine flu do symptoms take to generate?

My symptoms include sore throat, nasal congestion, fever, and very mild coughing. I don’t however have nausea or diarrhea, which is also stated as a symptom. Help! I’m scared. I live in Atlanta and I don’t want to be the one who brings swine flu to Georgia.
