Influenza spreads between humans through coughing or sneezing and people touching something with virus and then touching their own nose or mouth. Swine flu is not transmitted through food. The swine flu in humans is most contagious during the first five days of the illness although some people, most commonly children, can remain contagious for up to ten days.
Prevention :- Influenza spreads between humans through coughing , sneezing etc. Frequent hand-washing can prevent viral infections. Also avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth with hands prevents flu. Alcohol based gel can also be used to destroy viruses. Anyone with flu-like symptoms such as a sudden fever, cough or muscle aches should stay away from work or public transportation and should contact a doctor for advice. another tactic to prevent flu is social distancing. Avoid large gatherings.
Treatment :- If a person becomes sick with swine flu, antiviral drugs can make the illness milder. It works best if started soon after getting sick within 2 days of symptoms. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends the use of Tamiflu (oseltamivir) or Relenza (zanamivir) for the treatment and/or prevention of infection with swine influenza viruses; however, the majority of people infected with the virus make a full recovery without requiring any medical attention of antiviral drugs. The virus isolates in the 2009 outbreak have been found resistant to amantadine and rimantadine.
Tulsi is a medicinal plant of indian origins having abundant medicinal effects. the latest revelation about the medicinal properties of tulsi comes in the wake of pandemic alerts.
The treatment for Swine Flu involves consumption of 20 – 25 leaves of Tulsi in its fresh form or as liquid and to be taken in empty stomach twice a day. The revelation assumes significance as traditional medicines are found lacking in their ability to tackle H1N1 virus, with Swine Flu sweeping across the world, spreading panic among people and offices and schools being shut down to control the spread of the epidemic. Traditionally, Hindu temples provide water that has Tulsi leaves soaked in it to devotees. Tulsi leaves are boiled in water and the essence is given to children and adults who suffer from flu and common cold. Tulsi strengthens the body’s immune system in children and protects them from common infections.| Setting | Persons not at increased risk of severe illness from influenza (Non-high risk persons) | Persons at increased risk of severe illness from influenza (High-Risk Persons) 3 |
