Always good to get checked out,. Posted by Ari [Email] (#2847) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Ari) on Mon, 25 May 2009 18:16:50 In Reply to: flu tests, rob 94 aero, Sun, 24 May 2009 07:25:36 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Tamiflu and other anti-virals are only effective in the first 24-48 hours.
In terms of swine flu, at this point is only something the public health officials would be interested in. Let your doctor decide.
The treatment for flu is pretty much the same, swine or kosher. Rest and fluids, and it goes away in a week or two. However, there are other things that give flu-like symptoms, and if you've had the flu for a while, it would be good to know that you don't have any secondary symptoms that can develop into something else, like respiratory issues.
So it wouldn't be a flu test, as much as making sure you don't have something else going on.
