Symptoms of H1N1 influenza are characteristic of a common infectious disease and include high fever (typically exceeding 39°C), headache, muscle aches, fatigue, and general weakness. Along with fever, dryness in the mouth and flushed lips may occur, accompanied by ear pain or tugging sensations. Nasal congestion and sore throat may also develop. Occasionally, small red bleeding spots may appear on the forehead (similar to those seen in tetanus), or light yellow mucus may be present in the mouth or nostrils.
