Symptoms

Similar to Seasonal Flu

Symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills, and fatigue. In some cases, diarrhea and vomiting have also been associated with H1N1 flu.

If you've recently been to a high-risk area like Mexico and show symptoms, CDC officials recommend that you see your doctor. If you have flu symptoms but you haven't been in a high-risk area, you can still see a doctor.
