Swine Flu

[skyhuck]

Thanks lads!!!

 

She is doing fine, nasty cough and a high tempter that comes and goes.

 

I'm very relieved that she is doing OK.

 

I'm pleased in a way as, contrary to what people say, if the virus does become more dangerous and return in the Autumn, as happened with the Spanish flue of 1918, she WILL be immune.

 

Your antibodies recognize the mutated virus as it is similar to the earlier one. Thats why this virus is affecting mainly under 14's, many of those older than this will have had an earlier mutation of this virus at some point.

 

I know all this as my mother is an infection control nurse and until recently, when she semi retired, she was the head of infection control in a large general hospital.

Great news mate, did they prescribe you any medication for her? we got told to give our daughter calpol as she has a high temp and cough, seems a bit of a coincidence that they seem to have the same symptoms and girls the same age must be some kind of a virus. her twin brother is neither up or down.

She is on a 5 day course of Tammy flue, we give her Calpol for the fever, children's nurofen is good, but not for Asama sufferers.

i never knew that dave, alexander has inhalers, the blue and the brown one, only gets the brown one at bedtime..they wont diagnose asthma until they are 10 we were told but it really helped him as he was always coughing and snuffily at bedtime..BUT when he was tiny he was always full of nurofen to try and help him:ohmy:he never coughs at all now and hardly gets colds but he hasnt had nurofen for ages...i wonder if that is what was causing most of the problem:thumbdown:

we dont think alexander has asthma but when he used to get a cold he could never shake it, it was stuck in his chest, the brown inhaler has a steroid in it, he got better almost overnight and his appetite is great now....hope we are not derailing too much here
