The first is based on the standard flu treatment method and involves taking paracetamol based cold remedies as well as having a lot of rest and fluids. This method helps to keep the body hydrated and also helps and individual suffering from the swine flu to remove some of the side effects or ailments that come with the swine flu such as temperature, aches and pains. A child under 16 years should not be given and aspirin or cold and flu remedies that contain aspirin due to serious and harmful side effects.
The second method of treatment for the swine flu involve antiviral medications such as Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and Zanamivir (Relenza). These medications are by prescription only and will not a cure the H1N1 flu but it will decrease the length of time that someone suffers with the swine flu and will also relieve some of the symptoms, reduce complications such as pneumonia. In Europe, these medications cost the price of a prescription as well as some areas in the US but the standard price of Tamiflu is about $15 per pill. The dose of Tamiflu (for grownups) is one 75mg capsule twice a day for five days. The dosage for kids varies from 30mg twice daily to 75mg twice daily depending on their weight. (Children that weigh more than 88lbs take the adult dose of 75mg per day). The cost of Relenza in the US is around $44 and in Europe the price of a prescription or free for some people in the UK.
The third method of treatment for the Swine Flu or H1N1 virus is the antibiotic method but this method is only used on patients who have developed swine flu complications such as pneumonia. The price and type of antibiotics vary on whether a person is hospitalised or not but over all recovering from the swine flu is free for some and an expense for others.

Now days we must worry about catching the NDM1 strain of the flu bug. This new strain was first recognized in patients who had visited a clinic in New Delhi for some type of experimental surgery was not available elsewhere in the world.
As far as treatment for the flu goes, drink plenty of fluids, rest, and take aspirin. If your flu symptoms appear worse than usual, visit your doctor.
Currently there is no vaccination for this type of flu but the CDC and other leading researchers are trying to create one before flu season comes. You can visit many locations too locally to get a flu shot. The resource link below had many ideas where to go.
