Part 2 of our special report on the Swine Flu: Featured guest Dr. Joe Bresee of the Center for Disease Control talks about what symptoms to look for in children.

If you think you or your child have Swine Flu, don’t wait for your symptoms to get worse. Call your doctor or if you don’t have one, contact your local clinic and report to them your symptoms. In the past, severe illness (pneumonia and respiratory failure) and deaths have been reported with swine flu infection in people. Like seasonal flu, swine flu may cause a worsening of underlying chronic medical conditions. Your doctor can prescribe effective anti-viral drugs that can lessen the symptoms if you take them at onset of your disease.
