Swine Flu Symptoms That Doctors Never Tell You
Though doctor’s say that swine flu symptoms are similar to normal flu symptoms, still there has to be a difference and that’s the reason it is called ‘swine flu’ and not ‘flu’.
You had perhaps heard a list of swine flu symptoms, and also read many swine flu prevention tips, but what you know could turn out to be little less in crunch times.
Traditional swine flu symptoms are quite similar to normal flu symptoms, and therefore it becomes extremely difficult for a normal person to distinguish between a swine flu and a normal flu.
Though doctor’s say that swine flu symptoms are similar to normal flu symptoms, still there has to be a difference and that’s the reason it is called ‘swine flu’ and not ‘flu’.
One of the first major differences between a swine flu and a normal flu is the person’s behavioral pattern in case of swine flu. There is a series of strange swine flu symptoms that doctor does recognize in a swine flu patient.
What are those Swine flu symptoms that doctors never tell you? Take a moment and recall all those symptoms that you know.
For someone who had been infected with Swine flu, may develop breathing problems, apart from severe vomiting and flu like symptoms. The infected person may also feel uncomfortable, probably a pain in the chest. He would tend to avoid drinking water and sleep a lot. These are some of those swine flu symptoms which you normally find pasted on a board in the hospital premises.
But when you visit a doctor, he would look into few other things, apart from the swine flu symptoms stated above.
A swine flu victim typically behaves differently. The victim is quite unsure of himself. He would reply in a double frame of mind. Doctors are quick to notice the change.
Secondly, the resistance power of a swine flu victim decreases. He loses the urge to fight back and get well, which is a sharp contrast from a normal flu patient. A normal flu patient would fight hard psychologically, to get well, while a swine flu patient looses the survival instinct and the resistant power to get well.
A child swine flu patient also acts uncommonly. A child with swine flu symptoms could get extremely frustrated and irritated which doctors find it to be a strange activity.
The saga of swine flu would continue to haunt individuals till scientists come out with a vaccine.
Hopefully, the entire fiasco would end soon and the world will continue to be a better place without swine flu.

Yes Conner, exactly. You always come across new findings about swine flu.

Good information.
But it does seem like an attempt to use the words swine flu
the most times in one article. It may be search engine friendly but not very reader friendly.

It’s ok to link to other articles, but make sure that the content is relevant. I just wrote an article that links to two other ones, but the content connects to the first article. Try to connect articles together in a way that makes sense.

I would like to know if anyone has experience the post symptoms of the H1N1 virus? I was diagnosed with it and treated about a month ago. However, the cough and specially the throat hurst a lot still, to which the doctor said is related to lingering symptoms… not sure, but the pain is sometimes too much… any comments on this?
Rajiv Sighamony | Sep 1, 2009 | Reply
Yes, it could be a lingering symptoms. but I know people who do not face these kind of problems once they are over with it. I think you need to check yourself again to find out any other ways to remove lingering symptoms.

I’m also experiencing “post” influenza “h1n1″ symptoms, which include, but not limited to, excruciating aches through all my joints, especially the fingers, knuckles, elbows, shoulders and hips. The pain is so intense that I can hardly type, pick up a cup, or do anything requiring any strength whatsoever. I also have chest pain and suffer still with sinus,ear and lung infection which I took Tamiflu and other antibiotics (and are still on them). I’m trying all kinds of things to help myself but feel at wits end with the pain and normal pain med doesnt work. Tried oil of oregano, all kind of vitamins, glucosamine etc but this has had no effect over the past two weeks. I haven’t had flu for over 17 years and have not taken anti biotics for over 22 years. This is scary, any advice PLEASE?

I am not sure about the exact cause of your lingering problems. I know some people do have after affects that could be really bad. May be you should be very careful with the type of antibiotics you use. Remember, antibiotics are bad for your health, if used excessively.
