Influenza type A, H1 N1(Swine Flu): Questions & Answers
What are the symptoms of swine
influenza?
The symptoms of swine influenza in people are similar to the symptoms of common human seasonal influenza infection and include fever, fatigue, lack of appetite,
coughing and sore throat. Some people with swine flu have also reported vomiting and diarrhoea.
Swine flu is only diagnosed currently with a fever (or fever history) and flu symptoms and travel (within 7 days) to Mexico or parts of the US and Canada. This remains unlikely for most people.
If someone who has been to affected areas is feeling sick what should they do?
Follow the guidance issued to each household this week and call the NHS helpline or local NHS
direct. People are advised NOT to go to their GP but to stay indoors and get a ‘Flu Friend’ to do the running around for them.
