Immediately upon feeling symptoms of the flu, you can begin treating the fever, cough, aches, and other uncomfortable symptoms with over-the-counter medications. If you believe you may have the Swine Flu, contact your health care provider and they will let you know if they recommend that you be treated with an antiviral medication such as Tamiflu. For this medicine to be most effective, it needs to be started within the first 48 hours of symptoms.

How to Recognize Swine Flu Symptoms?
In 2009, the swine flu pandemic had people in a panic with the uncertainty of their health. Scientists scrambled to quickly come up with an effective vaccine to combat the virus. The swine flu turned out to be milder than previous pandemics, but today's flu vaccine covers both seasonal and swine flu. 2011 has reports of two people infected with swine flu, though both were in contact with pigs shortly before contracting the virus. The contraction of swine flu is rare, but can be spread from pigs to humans, or humans to pigs. Swine flu symptoms do not appear much differently than seasonal flu symptoms at first. These include high fever, cough, runny or stuffy nose, sore throat, body aches, chills, and fatigue. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that swine flu symptoms may vary slightly from seasonal flu. For instance, in the 2009 outbreak, Mexico reported that 30% of cases showed no fever, and Chile reported 50% of their cases had no fever. Most consider fever as a tell-tale sign of illness, and its absence could lead people to wait to go to the doctor for treatment. Pay attention to the symptoms. Swine flu can have severe symptoms like extreme fatigue or malaise. Vomiting and diarrhea is also more common in swine flu. If you show these symptoms, it is time for a visit to the doctor. Swine flu can be more serious than the seasonal flu because it is more likely to cause complications like pneumonia and respiratory problems. A rapid flu test can show whether the influenza A virus, or swine flu, is present. Antiviral drugs recommended by the CDC for treatment of influenza A virus are Oseltamivir or Zanamivir. Swine flu symptoms usually start to disappear within one to two weeks as long as complications do not arise. The elderly and those with chronic health problems such as asthma or heart problems could experience worsening of symptoms related to those conditions. It is important to take immediate action if you suspect you have swine flu. Take steps to prevent seasonal and swine flu with the vaccine or visit your doctor for more information on preventative measures.
