How do I Know if I have Swine Flu?
The presence of the following symptoms and signs can be considered to be indicative of swine flu:
- High fever (commonly above 100.4° F/38° C)
- Mild-to-severe cough
- Soreness in the throat
- Mild-to-moderate headache
- Body ache
- Chills
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea (loose, watery stools)
It should be kept in mind that these symptoms might also be noted if you are suffering from common flu or seasonal influenza.
The occurrence of these signs and symptoms after meeting an already infected individual, taking care of an infected individual or visit to swine flu infested regions can be suggestive of definite swine flu. Meet your healthcare professional immediately for further care. You may have to notify the nearest health authority for further action or measures to be taken in that locality.
