Swine Flu Treatment in Miami-Dade
Swine flu, also known as H1N1 flu, is a highly contagious respiratory disease that originated from pigs but can be transmitted from person to person. Swine flu symptoms are similar to seasonal flu symptoms and include cough, sore throat, fever, nausea, fatigue, and body aches. It can be spread through droplets in the air produced by sneezing, coughing, or through direct contact with saliva. You can also catch it if you touch your nose or mouth after you've touched a surface that was contaminated. The best way to protect yourself from severe illness or complications that can be caused by swine flu is to get a flu shot–which protects against the seasonal flu and swine flu.
