Swine Flu Season?
Swine Flu is expected to reach an all time high as the new school year and fall and winter approach. Pregnant women were hit particularly harder last spring as the H1N1 virus. Many OBGYN’s and Primary Care doctors are leary of the new vaccine that is being produced. What are they long term side-effects? Unfortunately, no one knows for sure just yet. What we do know are some symptoms you can be aware of in case you or someone you know may be infected with the Swine Flu.
Typical symptoms include:
- Sudden fever
-
Sudden cough
Other symptoms may include:
- headache
-
fatigue
-
chills
-
runny nose
-
achey joints/muscles
-
loose bowels/upset stomach

loss of appetite
You should contact your family physician if you have worsening symptoms, are pregnant, or have a child under one year of age.
