Swine Flu, Symptoms and Prevention

Swine flu has entered our country. Main cities are greatly affected by this pandemic ailment. SO, you need to be on your guard as many of us do not have any clue about this disease and we can be an easy target.

Here are the symptoms of Swine Flu

The symptoms of swine flu are very much like those of regular influenza. They include:

Chills

Fever, higher than 100 F.

Coughing, intense.

Sore throat

Runny or stuffy nose

Body aches

Fatigue

Diarrhea

Nausea and vomiting

Prevention

Prevention is better than cure, you have heard this. It’s time to implement it. Here are a few ways to avoid Swine flu,

Wash your hands.

The best thing anyone could do right now to avoid swine flu, experts say, is to wash their hands. It sounds like a stupidly simple response to an overwhelming situation, but nearly compulsive hand-washing helps prevent the spread of this airborne respiratory disease.

Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze

“The way you spread influenza is with droplets that come out of your mouth or nose,” says Dr. George T. DiFerdinando Jr., a physician, epidemiologist and professor at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-School of Public Health.

Stay home.

If you’re sick, stay home, DiFerdinando said. Try to muster the energy to wash your hands after you use tissues so you don’t reinfect everything you touch afterward. This helps you recover, and protects your loved ones.

Don’t touch your face.

Try, try, to keep your hands out of your mucous membranes, your eyes, nose and mouth, direct routes to the bloodstream that allow a virus to bypass the protective barrier of the skin. Few of us succeed at this fully.
