H1N1 Flu Care
We now have confirmed cases of H1N1 influenza in Huntingdon County and on Juniata Campus. For most healthy adults, rest and self care are the only treatment for influenza. Symptoms of H1N1 flu include: sudden onset fever (100.4F or higher), cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. A significant number of people who have been infected with H1N1 also have reported diarrhea and vomiting.
There are some warning signs that indicate you should seek medical attention:
- Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
- Pain or pressure in the chest or abdomen
- Sudden dizziness
- Confusion
- Severe or persistent vomiting
- Flu-like symptoms improve but then return with fever and worse cough
If you experience any of the above warning signs, contact the College Health Center at 641-3410 during our regular office hours (Monday through Friday 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.) If we are not available, please go to the local emergency room.
