Swine flu symptoms
According to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), like
seasonal flu, symptoms of swine 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 infection might include pneumonia and
respiratory failure.
If your child has symptoms of swine flu, you should avoid other people
and call your pediatrician who might do a rapid flu test to see if he has
an influenza A infection. Further testing can then be done to see if it
is a swine flu infection. (Samples are being sent to local and state health
departments and the CDC for confirmation of swine flu.)
Serious Swine Flu Symptoms
More serious symptoms that would indicate that a child with swine flu would
need urgent medical attention include:
* Fast breathing or trouble breathing
* Bluish or gray skin color
* Not drinking enough fluids
* Severe or persistent vomiting
* Not waking up or not interacting
* Being so irritable that the child does not want to be held
* Flu-like symptoms improve but then return with fever and worse cough
