Symptoms from swine flu

Why are you asking that now? I thought swine flu was a thing of the past. Swine is a variant of the flu virus and the symptoms are quite similar. Fever, cough, runny nose, body ache, stuffy nose, chills, fatigue and other flu like symptoms are the characteristics of swine flu. Sometimes even diahhrea and vomiting can occur. Serious cases of swine flu can result in pneumonia or respiratory failure as well. The main problem with swine flu is the fact that it is difficult to distinguish between this and normal flu and providing adequate treatment at the earliest is not possible.

Some of the symptoms of swine flu are as follows-
* Fever, which is usually high, but unlike seasonal flu, is sometimes absent
cough
* Runny nose or stuffy nose
* Sore throat
* Body aches
* Headache
* Chills
* Fatigue or tiredness, which can be extreme
* Diarrhea and vomiting, sometimes, but more commonly seen than with seasonal flu
* Signs of a more serious swine flu infection might include pneumonia and respiratory failure.

Hi Nidhi,
Priyanka is right. She have given many of the symtoms of swine flu. The symptoms of swine flu in people are similar to the symptoms of regular seasonal flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people also experience diarrhea and vomiting. Also, like seasonal flu. The worst symptoms usually last about five days, but coughing can last up to two to three weeks. Some very young children, people with some long-term medical conditions, pregnant women, and older people, can get very sick.
