Rising H1N1 Cases in India: Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention Guidelines
India is experiencing a rise in H1N1 (swine flu) cases, with symptoms including sudden fever, cough, body aches, and fatigue. Experts emphasize early medical consultation, especially for severe signs like breathing difficulty or chest pain. Antibiotics are ineffective against this viral infection and their misuse can cause resistance. Preventive measures include vaccination, maintaining immunity through nutrition and sleep, and mask use for symptomatic individuals in crowded settings. Antiviral treatments are most effective within 48 hours of symptom onset.
