Fever,fatigue and soar throat

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic,

Sudden fever, fatigue, chills, headaches, cough and sneezing, sore throat, diarrhea, loss of appetite are the symptoms of swine flu.

If you already have fever, it’s better to stay at home in order to prevent the disease from spreading. Always cover your face while coughing and sneezing. Avoid touching your face, nose and eyes often.

In case of sore throat, gargle with warm salt water.There are certain antiviral drugs which help treat swine flu – Zanamivir (Relenza) and Oseltamivir (Tamiflu).One should take these only with a doctor’s prescription since indiscriminate use could lead to resistance to the virus

Maintain your health and immunity well. Eat healthy food like food rich in proteins like pulses, get good sleep, avoid stress. Avoid visiting crowded public places if you can.
Thank you.
