Swine flu starts with cough

What you need to understand about the swine flu is that it is just like any other seasonal flu. Although coughing is one of the symptoms of swine flu, it doesn't necessarily start with it. You could show other symptoms first, such as a high fever, runny nose, sore throat, body aches, headaches, chills, extreme tiredness or fatigue , vomiting and diarrhea sometimes. It's necessary to be cautious if serious swine flu signs such as pneumonia and respiratory failure show up. Pregnant women, children below 2 years, people with chronic medical problems are more susceptible. A rapid flu test from the doctor will help identify if you have influenza A or B infection. Its always good to be safe than sorry, right?
