How should we be concerned about swine flu? Keep your child safely through after my expert advice!

You can not turn on the TV these days without an update for the swine flu pandemic (ie, it is far in the world). In my part of the world have closed dozens of schools this week to test how the health authorities, which remain before the problem spread.

As any parent knows, schools can be a prime breeding ground for infectious diseases. Children who have not given immunity usually built as many germs as an adult ... in a confined space with other children who are ...do not usually think of the spread of germs and wash your hands, oh my!

Knowing that my youngest son would not be exposed to the virus at school, but at least this week, he gave me some relief. I know for a fact that some of his friends recently moved from a pleasure trip, Mexico, so I closed my first raised by the school. But I was thinking and worrying, I did a little research, you might find useful.

Even if the flu usually affects only pigs in Pigs (hence the name), the problem occurs when it comes to people who usually requires direct contact between humans and the spread of pigs. Once that is spreading in the human population, but may vary from person to person like any other influenza strain.

Swine influenza is a virus of type A, with four subtypes, including H1N1, the information provided by authorities in what appear to be currently working. I would like to dispel the myth deals with the acquisition of a swine fluto consume pork> influence. It is not true. According to doctors, you can not contract influenza from eating pork or pork sausage, so no need to change your diet.

What should parents do to protect their children (and themselves)? nasal symptoms similar to any other type of flu: fever, headache, tiredness, loss of appetite, sore throat, persistent cough, first we should all be on the lookout for symptoms of swine fluCongestion and muscle pain.

However, be aware of kids symptoms of vomiting or diarrhea are especially common flu. Also be aware that adults may seem contagious for about a day before symptoms appear and up to seven days after resolution of symptoms. Children, but there are more infectious for seven days on the symptoms first appear.

Secondly, if you added in a region, the number of cases reported to live, so it might be a good ideapublic places, as far as possible be avoided. Also, remember your children (and themselves), wash your hands frequently and avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth. Studies have shown that bacteria and viruses can live for several hours on contaminated surfaces such as desks, tables, handles, etc. It is one of the most common cold ways and influence is rubbing the nose or eyes after it.

At home, parents are invited to regularly clean and disinfect objects such as toys (andcould take other small objects in the mouth), and other surfaces with paper towels, soap, disinfectant and disposable.

We also recommend that parents teach their children "cough etiquette" turning his head to cough and sneeze into a tissue, disposable (or the inside of the elbow, if necessary), instead of coughing or sneezing into their hands.

If you suspect swine flu (or influenza), of course, consult your doctor immediately.There are antiviral flu drugs such as Tamiflu (oseltamivir) and Relenza (zanamivir) are available for the treatment and, as in most diseases, early diagnosis better.
