Swine flu questionnn

if you have a small small case of swine flu can it be cured with antibiotics? and then you would be fine after your done with the meds? or would you still have it?

no. the flu is a virus. antibiotics can only cure bacterial infections

Ty is absolutely correct, the flu is a virus and has to run it;s course. However, there is no such thing as a small, small, case of the swine flu. You get very violently ill with H1N1 so I am thinking you might have something else. Probably a cold or the regular seasonal flu, neither of which can be treated with antibiotics either.

The way swine flu works is after you catch it the body makes attack cells that go after the viruses and kill them. This is why you get sick and have a fever because your body is at war. After you get better there is no way you can catch it again because you still have those attack cells that are made specifically to kill the swine flu viruses. The only way to catch it again is if the virus mutates and the attack cells can't recognize it.

What heresjohnny said is untrue. You do not always get violently sick. A lot of people in my family just came down with it as did my neighbor. They were diagnosed by a doctor, and only one of them were violently ill. You can recover from it just as you can from the regular flu.

I had swine flue about three weeks ago and they gave me

-- Tamiflue
--- Codine

probally mis spelt those but thats what they gave3 me it didnt cure it but it calmed the symptoms it took me about 2 weeks to get over it

what Kellyj reports is untrue, I work in health care, we are in the middle of a Pandemic in our area, many people are being misdiagnosed with the H1N1 virus when the really have the regular seasonal flu, or a cold. Doctors are taking no chances and treating all cases of flu like symptoms as H1N1.
