What Should I do if I Identify Swine Flu Symptoms?
First, we would like to clarify that we are not a government website. This website is an effort to keep the public informed about the pandemic. We have received a number of queries regarding what one must do when they identify symptoms of flu.We have tried our best to identify the exact procedures but have not found any. The healthy ministry's website too does not specify anything in detail.
A release by the Health Ministry on 15th August mentioned that people suffering from symptoms should not venture outside and risk infecting others. But the release does not mention what to do next.
In absence of clear guidelines, this is what we can recommend.
Please identify your nearest testing center using this link. This list has phone numbers and addresses of hospitals identified by the government for testing and cure of swine flu. Please call the nodal officer and take their advise.
IMPORTANT CONTACT NUMBERS:
Outbreak Monitoring Cell (Control Room, NICD): 011-23921401
Websites: www.mohfw.nic.in and www.nicd.nic.in
Also read this simplified article on procedures to be followed.

Whether one is infected or not the only way to both guaranteed prevention & cure is to boost your immunity so that the body can fight back & kill the virus. The 1st step therefore will always be to follow a healthy lifestyle & proper nutrition.

Useless to say WE will see more deaths then other country Temiflu is only solution against it But in very early stage even any antibiotics will do batter. People should be faster in treatment (TREATMENTS SHULD BE IN FEW HOURS AND NOT DAYS) once they get cought for h1n1 instead of waiting for official test results Common death in swinflu is due to liquid and blood in lungs due to pneumonia or u can say your own body killing it self When h1n1 spreads body cells try to kill all cells infects by virus but this finally turns in to killing lung cells. And thus allowing body liquid into lung through HOLES IN LUNGS. You will not die if virus spreads in your hand or leg. But when it spreads in lungs you will die. It depends how MUCH time virus takes to approach lungs. Remember body will not just wait for virus to spread it will start fighting. What worries here is late entry of large amount of antibodies. Body need to generate the disease-killing proteins thus making antibodies. Which may take 5-7 days. By this time if h1n1 is slow in spread or fails to approach lungs u won. So its useless to find testing center or good hospitals what u need to do is to take fast action (antibiotics) and give your body some more time. This time virus is much faster then our body's defense system. this is only possible if u slow it down. and this is only by taking antibiotics in very very early stage. not few days early but immediately just next to few hours from infections. FORCE GOVT. TO GIVE TEMIFLU IMMEDIATELY TO PEOPLE INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR TEST RESULTS. DO NOT WORRY FOR THINKING VIRUS WILL GET MUTANT TO THIS MEDICINE. ALL RUBBISH NEW MEDICINE DEVELOPS WITH ALL NEW VIRUSES. THIS IS JUST H1N1 AND NOT H5N1. WHICH IF COMES WILL KILL NEARLY ALL (EVEN ANIMALS)
