Many people will be sick during a flu pandemic, and it may be difficult to get medical or nursing care. You must be prepared to take care of yourself and others at home.

  • been unwell for three or four days and are not getting any better or are feeling worse

  • a high temperature that is not responding to attempts to reduce it

  • difficulty breathing or shortness of breath

  • pain or pressure in the chest or stomach

  • been coughing up bloody or green phlegm

  • blue skin around the lips and/or blue skin on finger tips

  • severe pain in the ear(s)

  • severe vomiting

  • difficulty waking up or feel disoriented or confused

  • been experiencing fits or uncontrollable shaking

  • started to feel better but then get a high fever and start to feel unwell again.
