I have swine flu and have just finished a five-day course of Tamiflu antibiotics. Up to now, I haven’t noticed any change in my condition. In fact, I’d say I feel worse than when I started taking the pills. Typically, how much time should pass before a person starts to feel better from taking Tamiflu?

the doctor told me today she is 90% sure i have swine flu how ever i have a wee boy who has cystic fibrosis and i dont know how long this will last or how long my baby has to be in incubation away from me any help?

My aunt called to talk and said her two grandsons had gotten sick a few days ago. . . they have a virus, severely sore throat, high fever, one even had a bout of vomiting. . . The doctor said they had a virus, but it sounds like the swine flu to me.
maybe about a week ago, my aunt had come to visit my brother and his new baby and gave them baby clothes from her daughter’s new born who, she is also the mother of the two kids that recently got sick.
I heard there’s like an incubation time before you get sick, so maybe they had the virus before my brother got the clothes?
My brother washed the clothes before using them, but he shared it with my other brother whose about to have a baby, and since the baby isn’t born, the clothes are just sitting there in a bag.
how long does the virus live on clothes before dying?

I read on the internet, from an unofficial source, that the swine flu virus only lasts for about 2 hours outside its host. I know some viruses, such as hepatitis B, can last for up to 6 months outside its host. Does anyone know the actually answer backed up scientifically?
