Treatment

Ok. If you have H1N1 you probably will not die. They DO HAVE TREATMENT!!! On this page you will learn about treatment.
== Most people who get swine flu will likely recover without needing medical treatment. Doctors, though, can prescribe antiviral drugs to treat people who become very sick with the flu or are at high risk for flu complications. ==

== If you need treatment for H1N1 flu, the CDC recommends that your doctor give you Zanamivir (Relenza) or Osteltamivir (Tamiflu). These drugs work best if you receive them within 2 days of becoming sick. You may get them later if you are very sick or if you have a high risk for complications. == == To prevent infection with H1N1 flu, people living in the same house as someone diagnosed with the virus should ask their doctor if they also need a prescription for these medicines. Careful respiratory hygiene and frequent hand-washing are also recommended steps for reducing the risk of getting H1N1 flu. ==

Aspirin or products that contain aspirin should not be given to anyone 18 years old or younger.
== If you think you have been exposed to H1N1 influenza, call your health care provider before your visit. This will give the staff a chance to take proper precautions to protect them and other patients during your office visit. ==
