May 27, 2009 -- Question: What should I do if I think my child is developing symptoms like those of swine flu?

Answer: If your child appears to be developing symptoms similar to those of swine flu, you should be sure to take your child to their health care provider. And also, if your child is in school, to make sure that you keep them home from school until you identify whether or not they indeed have H1N1.
