15 Early Signs of Bird Flu

10 of 15

Vomiting

In humans, bird flu can cause nausea, resulting in vomiting. The nerve center will produce the vomiting reflex. Other symptoms sometimes accompany these gastrointestinal symptoms, and if that’s the case, you may also notice a loss of appetite, lowered blood pressure, and slowed heart rate. Sweating and salivation usually happen right before the vomiting begins, and the skin turns pale.

Coughing can also lead to vomiting. Acute coughing induces spasms of the enteric musculature, which, in conjunction with irritation of the mucosae of the respiratory tract, leads to emesis. Sudden contractions of the stomach then cause one to vomit. The causes of vomiting are most frequently viral. However, the virus causing the infection needs to be identified because several pathogens cause symptoms similar to the bird flu virus. The sign should also be considered in the treatment process since vomiting causes dehydration and electrolyte disturbance.
