The Department of Health advise if you have a chronic long term condition or are currently pregnant then you should be vaccinated against swine flu. Please phone to arrange an appointment if you think you are entitled to vaccination and haven't already been called. You can contact the National Flu Helpline for more advice on 0800 1 513 513 or www.direct.gov.uk/swineflu
SWINE FLU
Swine flu symptoms are broadly the same as ordinary flu. Typical presentation is of fever and cough. The other symptoms may include headache, tiredness, chills, aching limbs, joint or muscle pain, sore throat, running nose and gastric upset.
Treatment of swine flu is the same as for any other viral illness: rest at home to prevent the spread of infection, drink plenty of fluids, treat with paracetamol, ibuprofen or other over the counter cold/flu remedies.
If symptoms persist or you have other medical problems which may complicate the virus, please contact the surgery where a nurse or doctor will be able to offer more advice.
