What is the difference between normal flu and swine flu?
They are similar. Swine flu is more likely to include diarrhea and vomiting, as well as the respiratory symptoms that come with typical seasonal human flu. Recent reports indicate that the A(H1N1) swine flu virus infects deeper into the lungs than typical seasonal human flu.
Is H1N1 the regular flu?
Flu (influenza) viruses are divided into four broad categories: influenza A, B, C or D. Influenza A is the most common type. H1N1 flu is a subtype of influenza A. Subtypes of influenza A are categorized based on two proteins on the surface of the virus, hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N).
Is swine flu curable at home?
Swine Flu is not a dangerous, deadly disease and there is no need to panic if you are suffering from it. Medical experts say it is just another type of viral influenza and can be easily treated at home. A swine flu patient needs urgent medical care only when he develops secondary complications like lung infection.
How long does the swine flu last?
