POPSFlu Symptoms: What You Might Feel ... and just plain feeling sick. Swine flu may also cause vomiting and diarrhea. These flu symptoms usually last for 3 to 4 days, but cough and tiredness may linger for up to 2 weeks after the fever has gone away. Other family members or close contacts often have a similar illness. For in-depth information, see WebMD's Children and Flu. Children and Flu Some parents think the flu is a stomach bug.

POPSH1N1 Influenza Update Treatment If you get sick: * Talk to your doctor. You may need to get tested to be sure you have H1N1 flu. * Stay home from school or work until you are feeling better and your fever has been gone for at least 24 hours. Try to avoid being around other people. This will reduce the risk of spreading the flu to others. * If you have to go outside, wear a mask over your nose and mouth if you can. * Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it. * If you don't have a tissue, cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze. Use the bend in your arm, rather than using your hands. * Wash your hands every time you cough or sneeze. To treat H1N1 flu, your doctor may prescribe an antiviral medicine such as oseltamivir (Tamiflu) or zanamivir (Relenza). These medicines can help you feel better faster and may prevent other health problems caused by the flu.

POPSWebMD Provides Answers to Your Questions About Swine Flu
What is swine flu? Like people, pigs can get influenza (flu), but swine flu viruses aren't the same as human flu viruses. Swine flu doesn't often infect people, and the rare human cases that have occurred in the past have mainly affected people who had direct contact with pigs. But the current swine flu outbreak is different. It's caused by a new swine flu virus that has spread from person to person -- and it's happening among people who haven't had any contact with pigs. What are swine flu symptoms? Symptoms of swine flu are like regular flu symptoms and include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills, and fatigue. Some people have reported diarrhea and vomiting associated with swine flu. Those symptoms can also be caused by many other conditions, and that means that you and your doctor can't know, just based on your symptoms, if you've got swine flu. It takes a lab test to tell whether it's swine flu or some other condition.

POPS12 Uses For Vinegar I couldn't do without it. I buy it by the gallon! Vinegar is really good for removing calcium build-up and as a hair conditioner too (especially if you have hard water) It shines up my kitchen sink like a charm and put a little in the water bucket when you wash windows for a streak free view. Mix a little with some yoghurt and you have an excellent aftersun lotion that works better than any store-bought variety IMO and it helps avoid peeling if you get sunburnt. Zap a cup of it and the microwave oven becomes a breeze to clean. Save LOTS of money and lower your use of toxic chemicals coz it's eco-friendly too!

POPSNatural Remedies Travel Kit Just a few of the many 'drugs' that Big Pharma objects to the public even having knowledge of. I'd like to see what the FDA has to say about these natural remedies. I have used several of these natural gifts and would recomend any of them over what a pharmaceutical company comes up with.
