Influenza, colds, and other viral infections; bacterial upper respiratory infections and sinus infections; and fungal infections can cause this, although it is usually a temporary condition that goes away when the other acute signs of the infection go away. If this sensory loss has persisted beyond that, you should check with a health care professional to find out if you need treatment.

Yes there is no problem. Tamiflu is an antiviral. It does not take care of any of your flu symptoms. So you need something like Nyquil to take care of those!

Yes, each year in the US approximately 36,000 people die from the flu; most did not have a flu vaccination.

Yes it can, because it changes your sense of taste and decreases your appetite so you eat less. Also, it can dehydrate you so it seems you have lost weight, but really this is just water loss and not fat loss.

Yes, in many studies as well as by experience of the use of the seasonal flu shots made the same way. The Swine Flu vaccine is safe, as safe as vaccinations for any other illness, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Studies prior to the US approval of the vaccines were done by the manufacturers and by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with monitoring by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). All approved the vaccines as safe and effective for use as directed.

The new A-H1N1/09 Pandemic Flu vaccine is being produced just like the regular seasonal flu shot, which has a very high safety record, so there is no reason to expect any different outcomes than we have seen with the seasonal flu shot for decades.

Headache, nausea and fatigue , and weakness are the most frequently reported side effects of zonisamide. Other possible side effects include: difficulty sleeping, nervousness, anxiety and abdominal pain

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.

More than 500 flu cases has been reported in Mulago Hospital this year.

The best way to prevent flu is by having avoiding close contact. Dont go outside when you are sick, this will make it easier to get it. Always clean your hands when they are filthy. Try to cover your mouth when coughing.

They exist because particular flu causing germs called bacteria and viruses exist. Colds and flu are extremely common because it is contagious meaning the germs spread easily from contact with the infected person.

Pletal is known to cause severe headaches, bloody and painful urination, fever, chills, body aches, flu like symptoms, chest pain, ankle/feet swelling, shortness of breath, fast heart rate, and diarrhea.

Flu viruses attack and attach to cells in mucous tissue. This is most often the tissues of the nose, mouth, and eyes where the virus is most often introduced to the body, but it can also include the mucous tissue of the GI tract as well. This can cause nausea and vomiting. Another reason is that the post nasal drip and sputum from the flu that might get swallowed also can cause acid indigestion and vomiting. Some people get it from a gag reflex from thick mucus drainage in their throats or from coughing so hard their abdominal muscles and diaphragm get confused and try to help by triggering vomiting. It doesn't happen in all people or with all types of flu viruses, but some flu viruses, such as the swine flu virus, are known to cause this symptom more than other types of flu.

Go to the doctor, tell your doctor you have the flu.

I just got my flu shot 2 days ago and I have a round red welt on my arm where they injected the shot. If I touch it, it feels like a severe bruise. On top of that, my arm aches pretty bad from my shoulder down to my elbow, like a sharp shooting pain. From everything I have read on it, I assume it is normal. If it doesn't stop within the next week, I'll call my doctor for advise.

I would not recommend exercising with a chest infection. Cardiovascular strain resulting from a workout can potentially worsen your symptoms. Shortness of breath, mucus production, and dehydration can all increase with a high intensity workout. Take a few days off from your exercise regimen, and give your respiratory system the time it needs to recuperate. If the symptoms persist then you know it is time to see the doctor. Feel better!

When diseases spread worldwide it is called a pandemic of that disease.

Great fall in blood pressure on taking prazosin (Minipress)and similar drugs for the first time.

Without knowing how long you have been sick, when you were treated and how, there is no way to give you a good answer. Your best plan would be to contact the health care professional who gave you the treatment and ask if your current symptoms are expected at this point or if you need to have an examination.

My son came down withH1N1 this week but the test did not come back for five days in which is to late to use Tamiflu. They recommend using within the first 48 hours of symptoms. If used prior to or within the first 48 hours studies suggest the drug can reduce the amount of time the flu lasts. Test cases indicated a consistent reduction in sick time by 1.8 days compared to the control group. It also suggested a significant reduction in complications. The major side effect of Tamiflu was an upset stomach with vomiting. Hope this helps. (Note: Fever, dry cough, loss of appetite Bed rest and plenty of fluids (force fluids) Seven days later, hopefully it's gone. Watch out for pneumonia !

Yes it did, i was travelling to Italy for a business meeting during the swine flu outbreak and it took hours to go through security. We had to go through a mini medical check once we got off the plane. At the time of the med check there was only 2 doctors available which wasted a lot of time and me arrive late to my meeting. However many people were found with some type of fever and had been refused entry into the country.
