Swine Flu or H1N1 Flu Symptoms

According to the CDC, like seasonal flu, symptoms of swine flu/H1N1 flu infections can include:

  • fever, which is usually high, but unlike seasonal flu, is sometimes absent
  • cough
  • runny nose or stuffy nose
  • sore throat
  • body aches
  • headache
  • chills
  • fatigue or tiredness, which can be extreme
  • diarrhea and vomiting, sometimes, but more commonly seen than with seasonal flu

Signs of a more serious swine flu/H1N1 flu infection might include pneumonia and respiratory failure.
