SWINE FLU: Be alarmed not scared …
As the name suggests swine flu(swine influenza) is the flu of the pigs. It is a respiratory disease which is highly contagious. Approximately 1% to 4% of infected pigs die from this influenza. It spreads by direct and indirect contact, aerosols … across the world in many places pigs are vaccinated against it. Most commonly it is of H1N1 influenza type but it can also come from other types as H1N2, H3N1 and H3N2. but the current outbreak is of H1N1 type which is not as dangerous as the others are.
The symptoms of this flu are quite similar to other regular flu ; body aches, cough, headache, chills, fever, sore throat, tiredness and at times diarrhea and vomiting which is less common. Its symptoms are common therefore people don’t understand initially. People catch this flu either directly from the infected pigs or from the infected people. The treatment is available but if it is diagnosed in preliminary stages, the vaccine is not yet available but likely to come in the market by September says WHO
This flu is in the air so its advisable to restrict going out, unless its necessary, cover your mouth while coughing, sneezing.. Wash your hands and face as frequently as you can, take sound sleep, do lot of exercises, drink plenty of water and have a balanced diet
