All cold ,cough & fever cases are not swine flu cases. There are number of influenza and other viruses which mimic swine flu. From the history you gave you might be suffering with enteric / malarial /other bacterial infections, that is why doctor refused to test for H1N1.If the doctor (not a quack ) is a qualified & experienced you need not worry.
