Influenza A(H1N1)

Recently, the H1N1 disease is troubling us everyday.....Influenza is thought to spread mainly person-to-person through coughing or sneezing of infected people.

One should get medical care right away if he/she:

-has difficulty breathing or chest pain
-has purple or blue discoloration of the lips
-is vomiting and unable to keep liquids down
-has signs of dehydration such as dizziness when standing, absence of urination, or in infants, a lack of tears when they cry
-has seizures (for example, uncontrolled convulsions)
-is less responsive than normal or becomes confused

Actually, everyone should take up the responsibility in order to curb the disease from spreading...we should be alert to the surrounding environment and several precaution steps should be taken like:

1) Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
2) Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective.
3) Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.
4) Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
5) Follow public health advice regarding school closures, avoiding crowds and other social distancing measures.

If everyone follow the instructions, the disease will be get rid soon.....
