what we should know about swine flu(H1N1)!!!!!!!!
Swine flu is caused by virus H1N1
In a global pandemic (epidemic) it is tought to escape from getting exposed to virus, but we can prevent propogation of the virus in the airways and prevent its spread.The virus enters through nose and eyes, multiplies for 2-3 days in the airways before causing the disease.
Here are the tips to prevent one getting the disease and to halt its spread
1. Avoid crowded places- virus spreads through cough, sneeze.
2. Wash hands more frequently- to wash away virus if it comes in contact with hand.
3. Hands off the face technique-virus enters the body through nose, mouth and eyes, avoid unnecessarily touching the face.
4. Gargle with warm saline(salt) water twice daily- once the virus enters the body it takes 2-3 days to cause the disease, during which it multiplies in the airway cells, infecting one cell after another, by gargling we are flushing out the viruses which are released in the airways, thereby preventing them infecting other cells
5. Consume more hot beverages. It flushes the virus into the stomach where it will be killed by the acid.
6. Take more of citrus fruits, rich in vitamin C like oranges, amla, lemon
7. Consume more fluids.
8. If you have high fever for more than 2 days, visit your doctor for evaluation, it could be swine flu.
8. Use a hand kerchief while coughing and sneezing...
