A doctor has provided 1 answer
Few available RXs: There are several different flus that are labled "swine flu" including the h1n1 that surfaced in april 2yrs ago & a h3n2 strain now in the northeast I am unaware of what may be labled swine flu now in asia.Anti-virals are one of the few available treatments for active flu & the specific anti-viral may or may not be effective in minimizing the illness. Other meds are directed at secondary problems.
