Swine flu has various grades according to severity. Not necessarily its bad at present. A visit to pediatrician is mandatory. Look for danger signs like respiratory distress, high grade fever, bad cough n breathlessness.Syrup Oseltamivir is to given for 5 days. Adults n other children who have been in contact, need to be given Tab/syrup Oseltamivir as prophylaxis for 10 days.
