The H1N1 ScareBY: sneha4u | Category: Health and Fitness | Post Date: 2009-08-10
The recent outbreak of swine flu is causing fear and panic in the minds of people all over the world. It has been in the headlines since the outbreak, and is the most talked about every where. Some facts underlying swine flu are How it spreads? Although people typically get swine flu from contact with pigs, there have been cases of person-to-person transmission. Coughing, sneezing and contaminated surfaces can spread the infection among people, but it is unknown how easily that happens. Symptoms The symptoms are similar to common flu. They include fever, lethargy, lack of appetite, coughing, runny nose, sore throat, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Infection from the virus can lead to severe illness, including pneumonia and respiratory failure and can be fatal. Treatment Antiviral drugs, such as tamiflu, are recommended for treatment and prevention of swine flu. Antiviral drugs are pre scription medicines that keep flu viruses from reproducing in the body. These drugs work best if treatment is started within two days of the onset of symptoms. However people are advised not to start these medicines without the consent of the doctors. People are also requested to cover their mouth or nose while coughing or sneezing. Wearing a mask is best suggestive for people who are tested positive and everyone should maintain good hygiene. We have heard of people being who have tested positive being quarantined along with the flu leading to deaths. The situation is indeed grave since everyone gets frightened easily due to which there is a hold on many schools, colleges, malls, and public gatherings. Lets all pray for this panic to subside soon and hope that everything gets back to normal.
