I started running a high fever last night. I went to the hospital early this morning and the doctor said I'm infected with H1N1 influenza. I'd like to ask, why did I get the H1N1 virus?

Dr. Guo Xiheng
The main causes of H1N1 influenza virus infection are as follows: 1. Transmission due to contagion. 2. Contact with certain animals that carry the H1N1 virus. Once infected with the H1N1 virus, antiviral treatment should be started immediately. Symptoms commonly include cough, sputum production, high fever, and muscle swelling. Early detection and prompt treatment are essential, along with regular hospital check-ups, to prevent the condition from worsening.
