Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I ordered merchandise from a storekeeper in Chicago which hours after fell seriously ill with the Indian Flu. I believe he meant the Indian Swine Flu. I m worried now when the merchandise arrives by mail that I will contract this illness as I have a 4-year old daughter and pregnant wife at home. How long would such germ last on my merchandise before it dies?

Hello,
Thnx to contact us. I understand your concern.
If I am your treating doctor I advice you that flu is very contagious disease. It may come to your child also. Even after a death it will be infectious. I advice you to start treatment with antiviral treatment. You can also think of admission in the ICU.
If you have anything else to ask, kindly contact me. Wish you a very good health at health care magic. Dr. Arun Tank. Infectious Disease.
