If you have flu-like symptoms and are concerned that you may have swine flu:

• Read up on swine flu symptoms at www.direct.gov.uk/pandemicflu

• You should call your GP directly if:
• you have a serious underlying illness
• you are pregnant
• you have a sick child under one year old
• your condition suddenly gets much worse
• your condition is still getting worse after seven days (or five days for a child)
