Those at severe risk include pregnant women, asthmatics and those with lung disease, diabetes, heart disease, neurologic disease, immune suppression, or other chronic conditions. This virus comes with a number of common flu-like symptoms including a fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, body aches, headache, chills, fatigue, and diarrhea and vomiting. Heath care experts recommend that people who think they may have the H1N1 infection stay home and avoid contact with others. Because these symptoms could be caused by a number of conditions, to diagnose swine flu, a health care professional will need to administer a flu test. A negative test result won’t necessarily mean you don’t have swine flu; the test’s accuracy depends on a number of factors including the quality of the manufacturer’s test, the sample collection method, and how much virus a person is shedding at the time of testing. To prevent the flu, the best remedy is through a vaccination. The CDC has a number of recommended vaccines based on who should receive the first dose when it is available and a breakdown for age groups. Zanamivir (Relenza) and Oseltamvir (Tamiflu) are two antiviral agents that either help prevent or reduce the effects of swine flu’s influenza symptoms.

These drugs should not be mixed together and they aren’t recommended for use if flu symptoms already have been present for 48 hours or more. In extreme cases, some patients may be hospitalized and those with severe infections may need a ventilator and treatment for pneumonia.
