What to do when you have swine flu?

Answer 1

From what I've been able to gather reading various reports and blogs (most recently Dr. Sanjay Gupta's own run in with the virus) there's nothing much TO do.
Swine Flu is much like the regular flu in it symptoms and its remedies. Dr. Gupta for instance was only given Tylenol and fluids. That's it. But in 3-4 days he was right as rain.

Others who comment on Dr. Gupta's blog entry said more or less the same thing. One woman and her daughter both contracted swine flu and after 3 days of bed rest and over the counter meds was fine.

So when you get swine flu one should do the same thing you do when you catch the normal seasonal flu, unless of course you have a pre-existing condition that would make you particularly vulnerable to complications. But if you're an otherwise normally healthy individual I'd recommend chicken soup, a thick blanket and plenty of Nyquil.
