Is necessary a comparison between to the normal cold symptoms and H1N1 Flu Symptoms: Fever is rare with a cold,

but Fever is usually present with the h1n1 flu in up to 80% of all flu cases. A temperature of 100 F or higher for 3 to 4 days is associated with the H1N1 flu. A hacking mucus- producing cough is often present with a cold, while a non-mucus producing cough is usually present with the H1N1 flu (sometimes referred to as dry cough). Stuffy nose is commonly present with a cold and typically resolves spontaneously within a week, but it's not present with the H1N1 flu. Chills are uncommon with a cold, while 60% of people who have the H1N1 flu experience chills. Sneezing is commonly present with a cold, but is not common with the H1N1 flu. Sore throat is commonly present with a cold, but is not present with the H1N1 flu. How does H1N1 flu spread? The flu virus is in the wet spray droplets of saliva and mucous that comes out of the nose and mouth of someone who coughs or sneezes. If you are close enough to a person with the flu when they cough or sneeze, you can breathe in the virus and get sick. Flu is spread easily from person to person. The virus can also live for a short time on things you touch like doorknobs, phones and toys. After you touch these objects, you can catch the virus when you touch your mouth, nose, or eyes. However, when the wet droplets on these types of objects dry out, the virus cant cause infection Being a new virus, all people are vulnerable to the disease. Those who have special status of risk are pregnant women, children, seniors and those with chronic diseases as diabetes and heart problems.
