Do you have a cough? Are you feeling tired or chilled? Do you have regular headaches an upset stomach or aching muscles and limbs? You may think that it is the common cold but you may have swine flu.
Hi my name is Tahnee winner of Australia’s Next Top Model and I have been checked for swine flu, have you?
Did you know that swine flu is a respiratory disease and is spreading worldwide.
Symptoms of swine flu is a fever exceeding 38c, a sudden cough, runny nose and sneezing, feel tired or chilled, have an upset stomach which can lead to nausea and/or diarrhoea, have a sore throat or if your muscles and limbs start to ache and joint pain occurs.
Experts say that swine flu is extremely infectious and can be avoided by keeping a distance from people that seem unwell and have these related symptoms. You can avoid this by regularly washing your hands, covering your mouth with a tissue when you cough or blow your nose and disposing of the tissue immediately, cleaning hard surfaces e.g. door handles.
If you or someone close to you has any and/ or all of these symptoms, see your doctor and get protected against swine flu today! I have, so why haven’t you?
