What are the symptoms of swine flu?

  • due to the recent swine flu outbirst i am like, seriously paranoid now! what are the symptoms of swine flu? how do you catch it? what happens when you get it? i live in southern jersey and it's been a heat wave right now [its almost may] it should be cooling soon. do you think it could spread to here?

  • Answer:

    Symptoms: Same as other influenza - fever, cough, sneeze etc. Catch it: Human to human You get the flu. Most people recover 95%, some get a pneumonia and die. The spread has nothing to do with the weather, and everything to do with contact with someone with the flu. To protect yourself, practice general preventive measures for influenza: • Avoid close contact with people who appear unwell and who have fever and cough. • Wash your hands with soap and water frequently and thoroughly. • Practice good health habits including adequate sleep, eating nutritious food, and keeping physically active.

ymptoms of swine flu are like regular flu symptoms. That includes: * fever * cough * sore throat * body aches * headache * chills * fatigue Some people have reported diarrhea and vomiting associated with swine flu. How it spreads The virus spreads the same way a typical seasonal flu does, via coughs, sneezes or touching something with the flu virus on it and then touching their mouth, nose or eyes. An infected person can pass it on before they even develop symptoms. You cannot get swine flu from eating pork products. What you can do If you believe have flu symptoms, stay home. When you cough or sneeze, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue. Throw out used tissues and wash your hands. If you’ve got flu symptoms and you’ve recently been to a high-risk area such as Mexico see your doctor. Your doctor may not be able to determine whether you have swine flu, but he or she would take a sample from you and send it to a state health department lab for testing. Your doctor may write you a prescription for Tamiflu or Relenza, but neither is required, as Swine Flu patients have recovered without medication.
