Fever and cough are symptoms of H1N1 influenza. Patients with H1N1 may also experience nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat, headache, cough, muscle aches, chills, and other symptoms. Under the guidance of a doctor, patients can take antiviral medications, fever reducers, and other drugs to relieve symptoms. In addition, patients should get plenty of rest and avoid overexertion; eat a light diet and avoid greasy or spicy foods; drink plenty of warm water daily to promote metabolism; and maintain regular exercise to strengthen the immune system. If symptoms worsen, patients should seek medical attention promptly to avoid delaying treatment.
