Tami flu is enough to treat H1N1 with no antibiotic?
H1N1 or Swine flu is a virus. Antibiotics will have NO effect whatsoever on a viral infection. Tamiflu should reduce the time you have symptoms by two days.
What medicine you need to take to avoid a H1N1 virus?
Tamiflu, but in Denmark swine flu has shown resistance to this.
Can H1N1 patients recover by themselves?
if you have a really strong immune system, but if you can afford medicine like tamiflu.
Can Tamiflu and tylanol taken to gether?
I don't know if you can or should take them at the exact same time. but i do know that if you are taking tamiflu, at some point you can take Tylenol or ibuprofen. at least that is what i used for me and my 12 year old daughter to bring our fevers down when we had the H1N1.
Can Tamiflu lower your body temperature?
Yes. Not only does it lower your temperature, it controls all the symptoms of H1N1.
Does it mean you had H1N1 if you were prescribed Tamiflu?
Tamiflu can be prescribed for any viral infection, not just the flu and not just H1N1/09 swine flu. So without lab testing there is no way to know for sure what type of flu you might have had. It won't hurt to get a flu shot even if you had that type of flu. The H1N1/09 vaccine is included in the seasonal flu vaccines for the 2011-2012 flu season. You should get the seasonal flu vaccination to be protected from the three most prominent types of flu that are expected to be in the Northern Hemisphere during this flu season.
What is the tammi flu?
this might not be the best answer, but i was perscribed Tamiflu, and the dr i went to was 99% sure i had swine. Tamiflu is a govt medicine and i was told some HEB's have it, i had to go to 3 HEB stores to find it... i feel sooo much better, its only a pill, easy to swallow
I had a diagnosed case of H1N1 and took Tamiflu. Should I still get the H1N1 vaccine if I have an underlying health condition such as COPD?
I would Ask The Doctor Before Putting Yourself At Risk. If you already have H1N1 makes few sense to be vaccinated. Apart than your body is stimulated to produce antibodies without the need of the vaccine, it is unclear even if the vaccine can worsen your COPD. If you are again healthy and recovered, it makes even fewer sense, since you had something more useful than the vaccine: the own infection.
Is it right that you are not getting your child's H1N1 shot because theres not enogh research on it?
That's your call. If you are not convinced that it is safe and your child contracts H1N1, you will need to live with your decision. WA cannot make your decision.
If you think you have the H1N1 flu where do you get the Tamiflu?
You would need to see a medical professional who can prescribe it for you since it is a prescription medication in the US, but once you have the prescription, there should be little to no problem finding a supply through your usual pharmacy supplier. At this point there is no shortage of the antiviral medications for swine flu.
What is the antibiotic you take when you have H1N1?
An H1N1/09 (swine flu) infection is caused by a virus. Antibiotics only work on bacterial infections. So you do not treat H1N1 with any antibiotics. There are some anti-viral drugs on the market that can make the flu less severe and shorten the duration of the illness (Tamiflu, for example) but they don't really work to "kill" the virus like antibiotics kill bacteria. See the related question below for more information on how the swine flu (H1N1) is treated.
What would you not use in treating a virus?
Antibiotics are not effective against viruses, only against bacteria. Antiviral drugs such as Tamiflu are effective against most forms of H1N1 and many other flu viruses
