Treating The H1n1 Virus
One of the most devastating viruses to affect human is the Swine flu. An individual affected by the Human Swine Flu or H1N1 Flu virus demonstrates symptoms such as cough, sneezing, headache, sore throat, body aches, fatigues and more. These are actually symptoms that are also presented by patients with the seasonal flu virus. These symptoms range from mild to severe.
Experts suggest that individuals who suspect they have the H1N1 virus must stay home for seven days. The person needs plenty of rest. Use alcohol-based rub or proper hand washing methods to wash hands. To prevent dehydration, it is imperative to drink sports drinks, water and broth. Although there may not be enough GP around these days since many GP jobs remain unfilled it is best to see one as soon as possible. The directions of a primary care physician should be strictly followed and hand washing should be done all the time.
The person infected by the virus and other people should cover their mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing with clean tissue and through the contaminated tissue into trash. Again they should wash hands and be cleaned. The person should not come in contact with other people if he or she is ill. Antiviral drugs will be prescribed to make the illness mild and make the infected person feel better faster.
Tamiflu or Relenza are recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to treat or prevent the virus'infection. However, most of infected people recover fully without the need of any antiviral drugs or medical attention.
