Is there any Swine flu cure at all?

Q: I am so worried. There was a Swine flu case reported in my county today. I know that some people in Mexico have died from it already, but was it because of their limited health care or something? I am so scared! If someone goes to the doctor right when they notice the symptoms and take the correct vaccinations, does that mean they still have to die, or is there a cure? I am only 13 years old, but these things freak me out. I’m planning on calling the Swine flu hotline today to ask questions.

A: There’s already a drug being prescribed right now to combat Swine flu, it’s called TAMIFLU. However, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention of U.S.A. states that you cannot take this drug until you are already infected.The big question right now is how to protect ourselves from this dreaded viral strain. For me, we just need to boost our immune system in order not to be infected. The next question is how are we going to boost our immune system the natural way? We need to take vitamins and Natural antimicrobial agent food supplements.

While authorities say it’s not time to panic, they are taking steps to stem the spread and also urging people to pay close attention to the latest health warnings and take their own precautions. “Individuals have a key role to play,” Dr. Richard Besser, acting chief of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Monday.Here’s what you need to know: Q: How do I protect myself and my family? A: For now, take commonsense precautions. Cover your coughs and sneezes, with a tissue that you throw away or by sneezing into your elbow rather than your hand. Wash hands frequently; if soap and water aren’t available, hand gels can substitute. Stay home if you’re sick and keep children home from school if they are. Q: How easy is it to catch this virus? A: Scientists don’t yet know if it takes fairly close or prolonged contact with someone who’s sick, or if it’s more easily spread. But in general, flu viruses spread through uncovered coughs and sneezes or — and this is important — by touching your mouth or nose with unwashed hands. Flu viruses can live on surfaces for several hours, like a doorknob just touched by someone who sneezed into his hand. Q: In Mexico , officials are handing out face masks. Do I need one? A: The CDC says there’s not good evidence that masks really help outside of health care settings. It’s safer just to avoid close contact with someone who’s sick and avoid crowded gatherings in places where swine flu is known to be spreading. But if you can’t do that, CDC guidelines say it’s OK to consider a mask — just don’t let it substitute for good precautions. Q: Is swine flu treatable? A: Yes, with the flu drugs Tamiflu or Relenza, but not with two older flu medications. Q: Is there enough? A: Yes. The federal government has stockpiled enough of the drugs to treat 50 million people, and many states have additional stocks. As a precaution, the CDC has shipped a quarter of that supply to the states to keep on hand just in case the virus starts spreading more than it has so far. Q: Should I take Tamiflu as a precaution if I’m not sick yet? A: No. “What are you going to do with it, use it when you get a sniffle?” asks Dr. Marc Siegel of New York University Langone Medical Center and author of “Bird Flu: Everything you Need To Know About The Next Pandemic.” Overusing antiviral drugs can help germs become resistant to them. Q: How big is my risk? A: For most people, very low. Outside of Mexico , so far clusters of illnesses seem related to Mexican travel. New York City ‘s cluster, for instance, consists of students and family members at one school where some students came back ill from spring break in Mexico . Q: Why are people dying in Mexico and not here? A: That’s a mystery. First, understand that no one really knows just how many people in Mexico are dying of this flu strain, or how many have it. Only a fraction of the suspected deaths have been tested and confirmed as swine flu, and some initially suspected cases were caused by something else. Q: Should I cancel my planned trip to Mexico ? A: The U.S. did issue a travel advisory Monday discouraging nonessential travel there. Q: What else is the U.S. , or anyone else, doing to try to stop this virus? A: The U.S. is beginning limited screening of travelers from Mexico , so that the obviously sick can be sent for treatment. Other governments have issued their own travel warnings and restrictions. Mexico is taking the biggest steps, closings that limit most crowded gatherings. In the U.S. , communities with clusters of illness also may limit contact — New York closed the affected school for a few days, for example — so stay tuned to hear if your area

Is there a cure for swine flu?

Q: I am very scared of being infected by this swine flu and I want to know if there is a vacine for it, or I i get infected, If there is a cure in the U.S.?

A: “Swine Flu” is just another type of flu. It has a slightly higher fatality rate and slightly higher contamination rate than the regular influenza virus that most people have experienced once or twice, therefore the world, government and news/media have dragged this slightly out of proportion.Most deaths have been reported in Mexico – where it is very hard for Mexican doctors to even diagnose the disease, let alone attempt to cure it. Therefore deaths through flu-like symptoms, or even regular flu, have all been put down to “swine flu”.Swine flu broke out in 1974 (i think) and had a bit of a pandemic then. However, the strain had a vaccine against it, and i’m sure this strain will have a vaccine too.By everyone panicing, makes the situation a lot worse.There is no outright cure, however, by resting and taking the usual precautions you do when you have flu, and also the medication Oseltamivir, that most people know as the brand name “Tamiflu” has almost certainly proved to rid the disease in every case.Stop worrying! 🙂
