Swine Flu (H1N1/09)

Report them to your doctor. Your doctor is working with those who monitor the side effects of vaccines and will report your symptoms to them to add to the study if it is something connected with the vaccination.

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.

Reducing your sypmtoms, reducing the amount of time your ill by a day or two.

the disadvantages are vomiting, diareaha.

Some US hospitals and other health care facilities are making it a requirement for their workers to be vaccinated unless there is a medical reason why it can not be done (such as allergy). In NY state, that is a state law. This will vary from state to state. Get guidance from the state department of employment or labor on your rights and responsibilities.

The influenza starts out as an upper respiratory system disease. It involves the eyes, nose, sinuses, throat, trachea, bronchial tubes, and later the lungs. Because the virus is implanting itself on or in the cells of our nasal passages and other respiratory tissue and mucous tissues, making them stop doing what they usually would do for us and begin doing what the virus wants instead (duplicate itself), the cells get damaged and don't function correctly for us anymore. Our bodies and immune systems recognize that there is something foreign there attacking our mucous tissue, so it creates more mucous and tries to flush it out. That gives a runny nose. As the whole upper respiratory tract gets swollen and inflamed, it causes a narrowing of the passages and sinuses which can trap the mucous and make it clog the airways and feel stuffy.

Not to my knowledge, and I live there.

Yes, a person who has contracted the Novel H1N1 influenza (and most other viruses), can pass the virus to others after exposure for one to two days before they have symptoms themselves. If you know they were exposed, it is best to treat the situation as if they do have the virus and avoid getting closer than six feet if possible and follow all other guidelines for hand washing, protection from coughs and sneezes, etc.

You could have the flu because those are symptoms that often occur with flu, but there is no way to know if it is the swine flu or not without seeing a doctor. But those symptoms can also be caused by other things, too.

If you feel like you are going to pass out, you really should tell a parent or guardian right away so you can find out what is wrong and get it treated. It is not a good idea to wait to have that done. Tell your parents.

Basically when you are getting a flu shot you care getting a dose of the the virus, be it live or killed. Your body reacts as if it has been infected by the real deal. It begins producing antibodies to recognize and destroy it following the vax and if it ever happens against it again. It usually takes several weeks for your body to go thru this process and to build up immunity.

No, and you cant get it by eating infected pork, anyway.

some times, in schools like mine it is free to get the vaccine, but u have to pay to get it from a doctor.

Influenza, a viral respiratory infection which is also known as the flu.

Yes, there is no drug interaction between the two medicines. However, if you are fighting a bacterial infection that is the reason for the Augmentin, then you would want to wait until the more severe symptoms of that infection are gone, such as high fever. These symptoms indicate that your immune system is still in battle with the bacteria and waiting until the fever is down to under 101, will make it so your immune system doesn't have to deal with more than one micro-organism at a time.

These symptoms could very well be the flu. It may be seasonal, swine or could just be a bad cold. Many other things can also cause these symptoms including anxiety or a bad piece of fish. Do check with your doctor when in doubt but for the time being treat yourself as if you have the flu till you know otherwise.

The influenza virus is destroyed by heat at 167o - 212o F (75o - 100o C). The length of time it could survive or if it could survive at 160o is debatable.

Fortunately there have not been any reported with the illness. Although their name includes "pig", they are really not in the same animal group as swine.

Water. Although it's not really that it freezes faster but rather that it freezes at a higher temperature. How fast something freezes has to do with both its freezing point but also how much of it you have. A drop of alcohol will freeze faster than a giant container of water (assuming the temperature of the freezer is below the freezing point of alcohol).

The words pandemic and epidemic refer to infectious diseases and their spread, and cancer is not considered an infectious disease in that respect. Sometimes a localized outbreak of a specific type of cancer that is unusually high and might mark an environmental hazard, may be called a "cancer outbreak in epidemic proportions" in a headline, as a descriptive phrase, but cancer is usually not referred to in that context.

Seasonal flu vaccines carry an H1N1 component, an H3N2 strain and an influenza B strain. The H1N1 component is not the Novel H1N1 strain that is in the swine flu vaccine

Upon doing some research on swine flu, apparently it does also cause some comjunctivitis in the pigs. My son also has h1n1 swine flu and has some mild conjunctivitis.

yes
