Swine flu cases are increasing in Delhi, with health officials reporting a sudden spike this week. The numbers this season are nearly six times higher than last year, prompting the Union Health Minister to call an urgent review meeting on hospital readiness and testing capacity.
H1N1 spreads like the common flu, through coughing, sneezing, and contaminated surfaces, and tends to rise during humid, changeable weather like in Delhi these days.
Pay attention to sudden fever, dry cough, sore throat, body aches, and fatigue.
Most cases recover with rest and fluids, but breathlessness, chest pain, persistent high fever, confusion, or bluish lips need immediate medical attention, these can signal serious complications.
Children, elderly people, pregnant women, and those with existing health conditions should be extra cautious and seek care early.
Preventive measures are: 🔸️Wash your hands often
🔸️Wear a mask in crowded spaces if you're unwell.
🔸️Don't push through symptoms, rest and recover.
