Hello,
symptoms of swine flu are similar to most influenza infections: fever (100 f or greater), cough, nasal secretions, fatigue, and headache, with fatigue being reported in most infected individuals. Some patients may also get a sore throat, rash, body aches, headaches, chills, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Good hygiene can help reduce the spread of a wide range of viruses, including the influenza viruses.

1. Cover your mouth and nose when you sneeze.
2. Use disposable tissues instead of a handkerchief if you have a cold and throw the tissue in dustbin after use.
3. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth too often as this can lead to you contracting the disease.
4. Wash your hands with soap and water or an alcohol based hand rub (hand sanitize).
5. Viruses also spread by droplet infection which might have deposited on common objects like phones, laptops, common desk, and chairs so avoid touching too many objects and wash your hands if you do.
6. Try and avoid close contact especially with people who have flu. 7. Maintain a minimum distance of 6-10 feet to avoid airborne transmission.
8. Children less than five years of age and elderly should avoid crowded places.

Hi,
Once diagnosed, the patient has to be shifted to the hospital where the patient is symptomatically in an isolation ward as it is highly contageous. They may be treated with antivirals like Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) or Zanamivir (Relenza).
