Generally speaking, swine flu refers to influenza A (H1N1). Swine flu may present symptoms such as fever, frequent and urgent urination, sexual dysfunction, increased urethral secretions, and redness and swelling of the urethral opening. If symptoms of infection with influenza A (H1N1) appear, timely medical consultation is recommended for targeted treatment under a doctor's guidance. Detailed analysis is as follows:

1. High Fever

With influenza A (H1N1), body temperature often rises sharply within a short time, reaching up to 39°C or higher. Fever generally lasts about 3 to 5 days, and in some patients, body temperature may fluctuate repeatedly and take longer to return to normal.

2. Cough

Patients with influenza A (H1N1) may experience coughing due to an increase in active components in the bronchi. The cough may be dry or accompanied by phlegm and could worsen as the illness progresses.

3. Headache

Under normal circumstances, patients with influenza A (H1N1) may experience head pain, which can vary in type, such as dull pain, throbbing pain, or stabbing pain. Sometimes it may be accompanied by dizziness or vertigo, which could interfere with normal thinking and activities.

4. Generalized Body Aches

After infection with influenza A (H1N1), generalized muscle pain may occur, especially in the limbs, waist, and back. Pain may intensify during physical activity. It is recommended to rest adequately to help alleviate these symptoms.

5. Redness and Swelling of the Urethral Opening

Following infection with influenza A (H1N1), inflammation may lead to redness and swelling around the urethral opening. This is a reaction of the immune system to the infection, attempting to eliminate the pathogen.

In daily life, it is recommended to get plenty of rest and avoid excessive physical activity to aid in recovery.

What does a high level of amyloid A protein indicate?
Infection is a common cause of elevated marker levels. During bacterial infections such as pneumonia and pyelonephritis, serum amyloid A protein rapidly increases within hours, and the extent of elevation often correlates with the severity of the infection. Viral infections, such as influenza and coronavirus infection, can also lead to increased levels, although the rise is typically less pronounced than in bacterial infections, making it a useful adjunct for differentiating types of infection.
