Hi.My friend and her brother are having congestion,cough,cold,body pains and blood in their mucus when they blow their nose. They went to RML yesterday and were told that they have swine flu and were given the needed medicine.They will be getting their tests done today.What i wanted to know was that since it has been around 2 weeks since the brother has been ill and 5 days since my friend has been, do they need to be admitted into a hospital?the doctor at RML did not suggest them too but I have my doubts about that.They even refused to get the test done their and directed them to a private hospital for the test.Please help!its an urgent matter.

Hi
My co-sister was having fever and cough for last 5 days. The fever was intermittent, not continuous. She also had vomitting. She was having breathing problem for last two days, but today she is feeling little better. She took a screening test in Bharath Scans for H1N1 which turned negative. She was diagonised and was told yesterday that she is having symptoms of pnemonia. She has been prescribed with some antibiotics. Can anybody let me know if this could be H1N1 and what else is the better option? Sometimes even educated people get confused when it comes for themselves!!
