Swine Flu: What are the Symptoms and How to Prevent It

posted on 05/12/2009 7:13 PM

The recent outbreak of the Swine Flu or Swine Influenza A (H1N1) Virus brought a lot of concern to the public. Reports say that this said flu started in Mexico and in parts of the United States where patients are found to be positive in the said virus. Yes, this virus is deadly, and that some antiviral drugs cannot remedy this Swine Influenza.

And because people become very frantic about this, it is only appropriate that you start reading articles or sample essays about A (H1N1) Virus, even if there isn’t any record of this epidemic in your country at the moment (and hopefully there wouldn’t be any).

So how would you know you have it, what medication should you undergo, and how would you prevent it?

Symptoms:
•    Sudden high fever which is above 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit
•    Sore throat
•    Headache
•    Cough and colds
•    Fatigue
•    Sore body
•    Muscle and joint pains
•    Severe vomiting
•    Difficulty in breathing / fast breathing
•    Bluish or graying skin color

Medication:
•    Quarantine of first 24 hours
•    Clinical examination / getting sample excretions from the mouth and nose
•    Blood samples

Prevention:
•    Ask for anti-flu medications
•    Avoid contact with people who have symptoms of swine flu
•    Wear a protective mask
•    Avoid sharing common or public objects such as utensils, plates, food, etc.
•    Sanitize objects you use daily


Keep in mind that swine flu isn’t just a simple essay topic about health discovery that you should know. Be educated on the symptoms, medication, and prevention so you’ll know what to do. Remember, every person is susceptible to this virus.
