Swine flu is a flu very similar to the regular flu. Tamiflu is a medicine that you take when you have swine flu or other types of influenza.
No, the Swine Flu is not hereditary. It is a virus. It is caught in the same manner as the "regular flu" that goes around every year.
The Swine Flu is similar to the regular seasonal flu, many adults and children have died from it around the world, but the majority recover. Unlike the seasonal flu, however, less elderly people have been killed by the A-H1N1/09 swine flu than the regular seasonal flu. People over 65 are much less at risk from the swine flu than seasonal flu.
no, it is not, remeber, the vaccine is a dead or weakened version, of H1N1I was just given the shot and have had no reaction to this point.
The only way to know for sure that it is the H1N1/09 (swine flu) is to have lab testing. Otherwise you can only tell by symptoms which are virtually the same as regular flu. See the related question for information about the symptoms of swine flu.
No not nessearly Swine flu isn't that bad swine flu has only killed like 1 maybe less the original swine flu kills 344,000+ people every year so the swine flu isn't nothing to worrie right know but still if you think you have swine flu don't go to the ER just go to your regular doctor it could be just the fluSymptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache,chills, fatigue, diarrhea and vomiting.A sore throat by itself is probaly just that, and nothing to worry about. However if you have more of the symptoms you should talk your doctor.
The swine flu already hit in 2009. As of 2011, annual flu shots include a vaccine for swine flu.
Well , the swine flu has been made such a hype because the vacine is just being released. NOT tested yet... to be honest more could die from the vacines un tested side effects than the flu itself. I do think its a dangerous flu but its not any worse than the regular flu =) wash your hands and you'll be ok.
The swine flu is as contagious as the regular flu. Just like having a cold or influenza, do not share straws, wash your hands, don't kiss or come into close contact with someone with swine flu, don't share glasses with someone with swine flu, etc. Also, you cannot get swine flu from pigs or pig meat. That is a huge misconception.
The Swine Flu has a much higher death rate than regular flu. Until a few months back the swine flu had a very high mortality rate. The medical developments have brought down the mortality rate but still there are rare cases of mortality because of swine flu. The regular flu on the other hand does not have a known profound mortality rate. The cases of deaths because of regular flu are very rare and not very common. In case of patients who contract any other infection like Hepatitis or any other infection along with a flu, the chances of mortality are high.
Trading germs with people often, not washing hands. Its like getting a regular flu.
head aches, vomiting, FEVER,... its just a regular flu
