If you are sick with an influenza illness, like Swine Flu (A-H1N1/09), the symptoms typically resolve after 3-7 days, for most people, without treatment with an anti-viral medication like Tamiflu. By the end of that time, most, if not all, of the virus particles have been destroyed (neutralized) and filtered from your body. With Tamilflu, studies have shown that the recovery is 1.3 days faster for participants taking Tamiflu than those who were given a placebo. So, it would likely follow that the virus would be destroyed and filtered from your body when treated with Tamiflu after 1.7 to 5.7 days. The typical length of time Tamiflu is prescribed is 5 days.

Should you be on Tamiflu if your child has H1N1?
No. Tamiflu is only for those with the Swine Flu. Taking it as a preventative could cause mutation of the virus....making it immune to Tamiflu. If you start to have flu-like symptoms, I recommend you go see your physician.

What infectious agent is involved in Swine Flu?
"Swine flu" is a viral infection of swine (pigs). There is evidence that this virus is the same that infected humans in the 1918 pandemic. It has been labeled the N1H1. There has been controversy that the flu now is a variant of this 1918 flu. We are not sure where it started: pigs or humans? "Swine flu" H1N1 virus produces similar influenza-like illnesses. Symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue and some diarrhea and vomiting. The present H1N1 virus is not zoonotic swine flu, as it is not transmitted from pigs to humans, but from person to person.

You cannot destroy a virus with antibiotics, because antibiotics kill bacteria not viruses. Tamiflu and other meds similar attack the virus, but it is not always successful, as viruses are quick to mutate and become immune to antivirals out there.
