The word novel used in this context means new or unusual. The 2009 pandemic swine flu H1N1/09 was initially dubbed the Novel Influenza by the CDC as a means of identification in communications since it was a brand new and never before seen subtype of influenza unnamed at the time. So if someone refers to novel influenza, they are likely currently talking about H1N1/09 swine flu.

This is an idiom that is no longer considered good medicine. It comes from a culture from long ago before we understood pathogens, disease, and our immune systems.

When you are ill with a cold, other upper respiratory infection, and/or fever, eat sensibly when you are hungry and stop when you are satisfied. Drink plenty of liquids. Rest in bed. Treat the symptoms with over-the-counter medicines. Ask your pharmacist for product recommendations for your specific symptoms.

Don't rely on this old saying as medical advice.

Whether or not it is safe to have a vaccine or not should be discussed with a physician. The answer depends on the specifics of your medical condition.

That could just be the flu, happens most of the time, it first gives you a sore throat cough aches and fever but the fever last for a while, you may vomit and you do not want to eat, just go to the pharmacists and explain your symptoms I am sure they will give you something.

By saying you have flu symptoms you are explaining how having the flu is making you feel.For example some people suffer with aches and pains, others headaches, runny nose

No

Possible but the viruses are very similar, if your body is already fighting seasonal flu chances are it will be more effective at combating swine flu anyway.

When the immune system in your body detects the flu virus it directs a particular type of white blood cell toward the virus called a macrophage. This white blood cell swallows up the virus and breaks it down into small parts. These small parts are then presented to other types of white blood cell known as T-cells which produce chemicals that tell your body that it is under attack by the virus. One of the responses to this is the production of antibodies which help your immune system seek out and destroy other copies of the virus, they are also stored so that if you are infected by the same (or a very similar) flu virus again your body can respond faster before the virus takes hold.

It is the chemicals made by T-cells which make you feel ill. They are very toxic which is good for killing viruses but unfortunately also causes a high temperature, muscle aches, headaches, nausea, tiredness and all the other symptoms associated with flu. So really the sickness we see when someone has flu is actually part of the body's plan to destroy the virus before it infects all the cells in your body. It is a balance between killing the virus and killing you!

Yes, illness does not effect the effectiveness of the patch neither does throwing up this effects the contraceptive pill but not the patch.

Seizures are not a common symptom in influenza, however, they can accompany a high fever, such as often occurs with the flu. These are called febrile seizures. Children are most vulnerable to febrile seizures. However, do not assume this is just a symptom of the flu if there are seizures, all seizures should be evaluated immediately by a physician to determine the type, cause, and need for treatment.

High fevers do accompany the flu, however, any fever over 102, especially in children, should be reported to your health care professional for advice. A fever of 103.8 is becoming dangerously high.

102 Degree F. (around 38.9 C) is usually the highest a fever in anyone should go, regardless of age, without making contact with a health care professional, especially if the symptoms are continuing to progress or there are other problems with breathing, swelling, vomiting, ears, etc.

Even slight fevers in children and infants could mean there is a serious infection, so they should have temperature checks frequently when they are sick (at least every 2 hours at first).

no, buy a children's cold medication or get a prescription from a doctor

Yes. White spots can occur with other ailments. However, just because you lack other symptoms of strep does not mean that you do not have strep. A visit to the doctor is vital to rule out a potentially serious or contagious illness.

Muscle aches caused by a flu virus cannot be accounted for by fluid loss from excretions and emesis alone, because often muscle aches are the first sign of the flu, long before vomiting or diarrhea may ever occur (and they do not occur in most flu infected folk). Instead, it is the increasing body temperature (the fever that is one of the body's most effective responses for killing off heat-susceptible invaders) that causes an increase in water usage at the cellular level. Full body dehydration then almost inevitably occurs, as the flu-infected usually have their thirst and appetite mechanisms decreased as well. However, as the previous writer puts it: One of the most notable symptoms of having the "flu"the is a persistant (and often disgusting!) loss of fluid. This can be a result of vomiting, diarrhea or often a combination of the two. Within this fluid are precious ions (electrolytes) that enable all the good stuff in your body to happen: Muscle contractions, nerve impulses, even basic cellular metabolism! One of the most important (as far as your muscles are concerned) is potassium -- [although calcium, magnesium, and sodium are all equally important but just dont get the same amt of press]. Low potassium levels mean special ion channels in your muscle cells cannot function properly, and that leads to a sensation of "exhaustion", much like you just finished a marathon. Without potassium (and other molecules such as ATP) your muscles just can't function! If you have the flu and you'd like to beat the muscle ache, chow on some high potassium-sodium ratio foods such as avocados or dark green veggies (think spinach); [bananas are merely ok regarding this K/NA ratio, much more important than is absolute amount of potassium alone]. Gatorade or other (preferrably lower in sugar) sports drinks can help both replenish lost electrolytes (like potassium!) AND water, a great two-fer when you're socked in with this bug (watch the sugar level or you'll end up low on potassium again, if you get my drift!).

lasted from 1918 to 1920. Some 3% of the world's population were affected, that is 500 million people. Figures of deaths are not accurate, but estimated between 50 million and 130 million died. It was one of the deadliest natural disasters in human history
