The symptoms of H1N1, commonly known as swine flu, are similar to those of the regular flu, including fever, sore throat, runny nose, body aches, headache, chills, and fatigue. Coughing and sneezing are also common symptoms of H1N1. In some cases, people infected with H1N1 may experience vomiting, diarrhea, and nausea.
More severe symptoms of H1N1 may include difficulty breathing, chest pain, and confusion. They may also experience a bluish color to their skin or lips due to low oxygen levels in the blood. These are signs of a serious infection and require immediate medical attention.
Children may also experience other symptoms of H1N1 such as lack of energy, a loss of appetite, or abdominal pain. Additionally, they may also experience a rash on their chest, back, or stomach.
If you experience any of the above symptoms, contact your doctor immediately. It is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible, as the longer you wait, the more severe the infection can become. Early diagnosis and treatment are the key to avoiding serious complications from H1N1.
