Swine Flu Symptoms The Swine Flu is well known to scientists and is not a new illness but the newest strain, A H1N1 could reach pandemic levels and is easily spread by humans, which is a new development. Newer versions of Swine Flu are seen annually and are sometimes combined with Bird Flu, but the latest version A/H1N1 also contains a strain of a human flu virus. Swine Flu symptoms include typical flu symptoms: Aches, pain, sinus problems and fever. A H1N1 spreads quickly and strikes fast; A H1N1 is also a killer flu. If you feel sick and have been to Mexico, Texas or California or have come in contact with someone who has, be watchful for these Swine Flu symptoms: *High fever (as high as 105 or more) *Nausea and vomiting *Headaches and muscle and/or joint pain. *Respiratory problems *Sinus problems *Diarrhoea and/or dehydration If you have most or all of these these Swine Flu symptoms, see a doctor or go to hospital and inform friends, family and anyone else you may have daily or close contact with so that they can be tested immediately. The A H1N1 Swine Flu virus is treatable (so far) with existing anti-viral medications: Tamiflu and Relenza. Remember, visiting the doctor if you feel unwell will definitely help in preventing the spread of swine flu. |
