Swine flu displays regular human flu symptoms including cough, fever, body ache, fatigue, sore throat, chills and headache. Antiviral medicines are available to prevent and treat swine flu, but right now appropriate vaccine is not available to protect from swine flu. Spreading of these germs can be prevented as it causes respiratory illnesses such as influenza by:
* Avoiding contact with sick patients, avoiding touching your mouth, eyes or nose as the germs spread faster in this way.
* Covering mouth and nose using a tissue while coughing or sneezing and immediately throwing the tissue in a trash after one use.
* Washing hands using soap and water, particularly after sneezing or coughing is essential and also using hand cleaners that are alcohol-based is preferred.
* Staying at home when you are sick without attending school or your work place is suggested to prevent spreading of this infection.
Immediate care is recommended on the initial symptoms of swine flu. The symptoms vary from person to person as there are patients having high fever, body ache and sore throat, while some complain about running nose, vomiting and diarrhea. However, these symptoms alone does not declare a person being infected by swine flu and is confirmed after the respiratory specimen lab test.
