Swine flu (H1 N1) is the common name given to a new influenza (flu). It is called swine flu because it is thought to have originated in pigs. People with Swine flu typically have a fever or high temperature (over 38°C) and may also have aching muscles, sore throat and/or a dry cough. In other words, the symptoms are very similar to seasonal (regular) flu. Most people with regular flu recover within a week, even without special treatment. So far, most swine flu cases have been mild, with symptoms similar to those of seasonal flu. Only a small number of people have had more serious symptoms. If you or a member of your family has a fever or high temperature (over 38°C) and two or more of the following symptoms, you may have swine flu: · unusual tiredness, · headache, · runny nose, · sore throat, · shortness of breath or cough, · loss of appetite, · aching muscles, · Diarrhea or vomiting. Contact your doctor or phone the emergency service .
