Swine Flu Symptoms

Usually symptoms of swine flu have generally proved mild. However a small number of patients may develop more serious illness.  Many of these people have other underlying health conditions, such as heart or lung disease, that put them at increased risk.

Flu symptoms can include:
  • Fever
  • Cough
  • Headache
  • Weakness and fatigue
  • Aching muscles and joints
  • Sore throat
  • Runny nose
As with any sort of influenza, how bad and how long the symptoms last will depend on treatment and the patient's individual circumstances.

Most cases reported in India have been relatively mild, with those affected starting to recover within a week. Persons with swine flu infection should be considered potentially contagious for up to 7 days following illness onset. Persons who continue to be ill longer than 7 days after illness onset should be considered potentially contagious until symptoms have resolved. Children, especially younger children, might potentially be contagious for longer periods.

A confirmed case of swine flu infection is a person with an acute respiratory illness with laboratory confirmed swine flu infection by one or more of the following tests:
  • Real-time RT-PCR
  • Viral culture
