Would you use tetracycline to treat flu?
No, the flu, if you mean it as influenza and not just another name for a common cold, is a virus. Tetracycline is used for bacterial infections. It would not have an effect on influenza. The best treatment for the flu is to prevent it with a vaccine, but there are also drugs out there that have been proven somewhat beneficial for the treatment of flu. This would be a drug like oseltamivir (tamiflu). An important distinction here is that many people get sick and just say they have the flu, when in reality they just have some random viral or bacterial upper respiratory infection. To be certain one has the flu, he/she would need to be tested specifically for a strain of the influenza virus.

Is a person contagious after Swine Flu treatment?
You would not be contagious DUE TO the swine flu treatment, but you may still be contagious after having treatment, depending on when you were exposed to the virus or when you contracted the swine flu, what the treatment was, and how long it has lasted to date. Usually treatment does not cure the flu, only lessens the symptoms while your body is killing the invading virus. It typically takes your body 7 to 10 days to fight off the flu once infected. If you have the flu, you would be considered no longer contagious after you have gone a full 24 hours without a fever (while taking no fever-reducing medicines). If by "treatment" you include preventive flu vaccinations, then you would not be contagious from having had the vaccine, since it is made with virus particles that can not make you sick. There is a very rare risk that someone who received the live virus vaccine in the nasal spray vaccination could give the flu to another person, immediately after receiving the nasal spray, if the other person has a malfunctioning immune system, such as with AIDS, but it is unlikely.
