H1N1 & Influenza Cases Rising in Bengaluru Bengaluru is seeing a rise in seasonal influenza, including H1N1 (Influenza A), particularly during the monsoon season. Common symptoms include: • Fever • Cough and sore throat • Body ache and headache • Extreme tiredness • Breathlessness in more severe cases While most people recover uneventfully, influenza can sometimes lead to viral pneumonia and respiratory complications, especially in young children, older adults and people with underlying health conditions. When should you see a doctor? Seek medical attention if you have: 🔹 Persistent or high fever 🔹 Increasing cough or breathlessness 🔹 Chest discomfort 🔹 Low oxygen saturation 🔹 Symptoms that are worsening rather than improving Do not panic, but don’t ignore worsening respiratory symptoms. Simple precautions such as good hand hygiene, adequate ventilation, avoiding close contact when unwell, and wearing a mask when symptomatic can help reduce transmission. If you have fever, cough or breathing difficulty, early medical evaluation can help identify influenza, pneumonia or other respiratory infections and guide appropriate treatment. #H1N1 #Influenza #Bengaluru #Bangalore #Pneumonia #RespiratoryHealth #LungHealth #FluSeason Aug 24, 2026 Call now
