The only medical treatments available are used to relieve the symptoms of flu, NOT to cure the disease - you cannot cure flu. Flu vaccine, like all vaccines is a prophylactic - it stops you getting flu. All vaccines of all types are based on the virus they are used against or some very closely related virus that the body regards as identical - some vaccines are dead, some are weakened (attenuated) so that they do not cause disease.

Are there any vaccines to cure Swine Flu?

No. There are vaccines for swine flu, but they do not cure it. They prevent it before you get sick from it because the vaccines will make you immune. Once you have it, there is no cure. There are medicines that can make you feel better and there are medicines that will make the symptoms less harsh and the duration shorter, but no cures yet. Get the vaccination if you have not yet when the next flu season is about to start in the fall (in the US).

Should a pregnant lady take medication for flu?

If it is indeed the flu and not just a cold, you should see a doctor immediate because the flu can cause be very serious when you are pregnant. If it is not the flu, at least the one cause by the influenza virus, then you should still talk to a doctor or pharmacist to see what you can take. I have a cold right now, which is really not fun when you are pregnant. I have not taking any medication but have tried some natural remedies to try to fight it. I have not been able to find a medication that is for sure safe in the research that I have done, and it has not been determined yet if some medicines are safe like Nyquil. When in doubt ask an expert.


Is Swine Flu disease curable?

No. Influenza is the disease that swine flu virus causes and influenza is not curable yet. It is preventable. It is able to have the symptoms mitigated with antiviral medicines and cough medicine and other flu medicines over the counter. But a cure is not yet developed for the flu or for the common cold. Once you have had a particular type of flu virus, you will less likely get that same exact virus again and for some people it is lifelong immunity, although there are some scientists who believe that the immunity weakens over time and that is a reason for repeated vaccinations for the flu each season along with the need to cover any new flu viruses that are in the wild that season.
