The drug works by attacking the flu virus inside the body, thus preventing the virus from spreading. Common side effects of this medication include nausea and vomiting.

Is it a Cold or Flu? How to Tell
April 23, 2005 by Tina Samuels

Many people have trouble being able to tell if they have a cold or the flu. There are a great deal of people who insist each year on getting antibiotics to treat their cold or flu, increasing their chance of building up super resistant strains that can not be treated with antibiotics.

Antibiotics are a bad idea, not only for building up resistances, but they are always completely useless for a cold or the flu as they are viral not bacterial. Colds and Flu are viral respiratory tract infections that will not go away with antibiotics and to this day no complete cure has been found. Many doctors will treat the symptoms with anti-inflammatory agents, fever reducers, and antihistamines. Here’s how to see if you have a temporary 3-5 day cold, or a 1-2 week flu bug.

Both a cold and flu will have these symptoms: runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, cough.A cold will have these symptoms too: - congestion, - mild fatigue, - no feverThe flu will have these symptoms: - headache- fever- chills,- fatigue- weakness- achy muscles.

// April 26th, 2009 // No Comments » // prevention, tips

8 Tips to Preventing the Swine Flu:

#1. Stay Out Of Large Crowds.

Stores, Swapmeets, Airplanes, Malls, Sports Arenas, Whenever possible try to keep you and your family out of these largely populated areas.

#2. Wash your hands.

Doors, a phone, a computer keyboard, armchair rest, tables, fruits, boxes, anything the germ has settled on can be a way of transmission. So whenever you touch anything with your hands before eating, or touching your mouth with anything wash, wash, and wash again.

If a sink isn’t available, carry hand sanitizer with you and use that.

#3. Use tissues (not hands) to catch sneezes and coughs.

#4. Drink lots of fluids.
