If they don't want people going to hospital with suspected swine flu, what are they suggesting the general populace do instead? How does one know when it is time to go to hospital?

If they don't want people going to hospital with suspected swine flu, what are they suggesting the general populace do instead? How does one know when it is time to go to hospital? If it becomes life threatening, as in SEVERE breathing problem etc... but if we just took everyone in that had it, it would wipe everyone in the hospital out!! all the sick and elderly in there would die. So treatment at home is by far the most sensible. From my understanding, everyone can't be treated with 'tamiflu' etc.. it will just create a resistant strain of it, flu virus mutate VERY quickly, and not all swine flu is the same even! meds are available over the counter to treat flu symptoms, and most of us would be off our legs a while, feel like c**p and get over it.

Jason T Posts: 7421 Joined: 14th Apr 2004 Location: UK	Posted at 16:47 on 18th June 2009 Swine flu, as far as i'm aware, is no worse than any other strain of flu. Children Krissy are a little different, obviously a high temp in kids can cause fitting, and children are usually affected more severley by flu. So i'd say don't take chances with kids, having said that if i went to a kid with ?swine flu, i'd prob dial a flu line we have, to check, because really, the hospital don't want it there!! it will kill a lot! We look for temps of abot 39/40 in children, thats when they can start fitting. But usually these can be kept down with paracetamol, or whatever antipyretic you have in USA for kids.

It was a scary time. Krissy - James is going tomorrow - flying from Heathrow at 10 - he only found out yesterday afternoon! He is madly trying to get all his stuff together! He will be there for 8 weeks! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
