The common swine H1N1 Flu Symptoms are like ordinary flu symptoms and include high temperature, fatigue, sore throat, and chills. Many people with swine flu have had diarrhea and vomiting. Just about all people with h1n1 have had at the minimum two to the above symptoms. Other sicknesses can cause the above. Do to the common h1n1 symptoms, your doctor won’t be able to tell if you have h1n1 swine flu just by looking at you. Health care professionals may offer a rapid flu test, although a negative result doesn’t mean you don’t have the flu. How accurate these tests are rely on a few things including, quality, the collection method, and how much viral shedding is happening at the time of testing.

Even though most H1N1 Symptoms are common and relatively harmless, there are some that could be very damaging and serious. Any type of respiratory or breathing problems that are more serious than the regular coughing and sneezing. Such signs of respiratory distress may be shallow, short, and/or rapid breathing, blue skin and/or lips, shortness of breath, coughing up blood, and/or any other obvious signs of struggle in breathing. Other serious signs include sharp pain, abdomen pain, dizziness, confusion, relentless diarrhea, persistent vomiting.

Like the regular, pandemic swine flu can cause neurological symptoms in kids. Neurologic symptoms are rare, but, they can be very bad and sometimes fatal. Sudden behavioral or cognitive changes can be symptoms. And seizures can be another one. The medical community still doesn’t know why these symptoms occur, but one possibility is Reye’s syndrome. It usually occurs in children that come down with a viral illness and take aspirin .

swine flu is can be serious and we are not health care workers. Consult with a physician if you want actual medical advice.
