The only medication FDA approved for influenza is Tamiflu. You would take 1 pill twice a day for 5 days. Tamiflu should be taking as soon as possible after symptoms start to decrease severity and duration of the flu.
Zicam is not effective for treating the flu. It is a homeopathic remedy that is not supported by scientific evidence for flu treatment. It is always best to consult with a healthcare professional for proper flu treatment.
No. This treatment for the flu contains no ingredients that can give you the flu or any other infectious disease.
I think you mean Tamaflu? This is the medicine for swine flu. Theraflu you can buy at any pharmacy or grocery store for treatment of regular flu symptoms.
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.
Swine flu is, like all strains of influenza and the common cold, viral. The main treatment for swine flu is the antiviral drug Tamiflu.
The flu is caused by a virus. Antibiotics don't work on viruses, they are made to kill bacteria instead. The type of medicine that is used to treat viral infections are anti-viral medicines. But, the best treatment is prevention, and that is where the vaccination comes in. Don't wait to get the flu and need treatment, instead get a flu shot so you will be immune to the virus and not get sick in the first place.

No. Antibiotics do not help viral infections such as the cold or flu. Antibiotics are specifically for helping with treatment of bacterial infections or for preventing bacterial infections and do nothing to an inanimate virus.
Dimetapp® was never a treatment for flu; it's a decongestant formerly prescribed to treat cold symptoms. (It is now available over-the-counter.) The Dimetapp® that's marketed for flu contains other ingredients and is used to treat symptoms--not the infection itself.
i really do not know
There are a few antibiotics known to cure swine flu Tony silveti however has been living with swine flu for 12 years
No, there are currently no cures for the flu with prescription medications or with spices or herbal medicines. There is prevention with vaccination and there is treatment of the symptoms and in some cases treatment with antiviral medications to shorten the duration and lessen the severity of symptoms, but no cures.
