In the beginning, symptoms of the flu are similar. These symptoms can also be caused by other types of viruses as well. This is what makes it difficult to diagnose the flu.
Symptoms of H1N1 flu
The initial symptoms of this new flu have been similar to the symptoms of the regular flu. Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may be more common.
Here are the differences so far between H1N1 flu and seasonal flu:
H1N1flu seem to thrive in much warmer than the usual cold weather when seasonal flu thrives.
Symptoms seem to be no worse than those of seasonal flu, although that may change when the weather gets colder in late fall and winter.
People with flu symptoms should seek immediate medical attention if, instead of recovering, they become sicker with the danger signs listed here.
For adults, the most worrisome symptoms are these:
shortness of breath
persistent vomiting
confusion
dizziness
For young children, the most worrisome symptoms are:
very rapid breathing
not interacting normally, not eating or drinking normally, being unusually irritable, or appearing unusually sleepy
high fever and rash
