Do the symptoms of H1N1 Flu appear all at the same time or do they come on at various times during the course of the infection?

answered Sep 21, 2009 at 09:12AMThere is hardly any difference between symptoms of common flu and swine flu (Human H1N1 pandemic flu). However, from the preliminary findings of analysis of cases in Mexico swine flu patients may present with cough, fever, running nose (95-98%) diarrhea, nausea vomiting (45-55%), shortness of breath and joint pain (48% & 46%). Some atypical symptoms are also common in those who are already suffering from other serious diseases (Reference: MMWR, April 30, 2009 / 58(Dispatch);1-3).
