H1N1 cases in Delhi jump sixfold; doctors urge caution

A sickness called H1N1 is spreading much more in the city of Delhi than it did last year.

H1N1 is a kind of flu virus.

It makes you feel sick with fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, and tiredness.

Most healthy people get better on their own.

But some people can get very sick from it.

Older adults, pregnant women, young children, and people with health problems like diabetes are at higher risk.

Medicine like antibiotics does not work against viruses.

Doctors say a yearly vaccine and washing your hands can help.

If you feel worse instead of better, you should see a doctor early.
