Feb 28, 2017 under Health and Fitness
H1N1 flu signs and symptoms in humans are similar to those of other flu strains:
- Fever (but not always)
- Cough
- Sore throat
- Runny or stuffy nose
- Watery, red eyes
- Body aches
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Diarrhea
- Nausea and vomiting
H1N1 flu symptoms develop about one to three days after you're exposed to the virus.
When to see a doctor
It's not necessary to see a doctor if you're generally healthy and develop flu signs and symptoms, such as fever, cough and body aches. Call your doctor, however, if you have flu symptoms and you're pregnant or you have a chronic disease, such as asthma, emphysema, diabetes or a heart condition, because you have a higher risk of complications from the flu.
