You will experience mild to moderate and sometimes severe aches and pains in the muscles and joints as well as around the eyes. The body will become weak and tired and movement will almost feel impossible. Due to the fever, your skin will become flushed and red and look ill appeared with watery eyes. The fever can cause headaches that can feel like migraines and a sharp pounding behind the eyes. Coughing and sneezing make this feeling worse.

You will also have watery eyes as well as a watery discharge from your nose. With the swine flu, the symptoms may be similar and can also include diarrhea and vomiting.
