What is H1N1 Flu or Swine Flu
Some of the same antiviral drugs that are used to treat seasonal flu also work against H1N1 Swine Flu. However, the person concerned must contact a doctor before taking any medicine. Antibiotics are ineffective because Swine Flu is caused by a virus, not bacteria. The vaccine that protects against seasonal flu can also be used against Swine Flu.
