they will always be grateful for the existence of Tamiflu.

In a story which will warm even the coldest and hardest of hearts, the influenza medication Tamiflu has saved the life of a two month year old baby girl called Millie who had contracted the swine flu virus. Her parents Richard and Leslie were told by doctors treating her to be prepared for the worst outcome however despite being in intensive care for several days she is now recovering well.

The little girl Millie got the swine flu H1N1 virus when she was already recovering from pneumonia which put her in a double jeopardy situation. The doctors gave Millie the Tamiflu on Christmas Eve and by Boxing Day she was making a good recovery. One thing for sure is that her parents will never forget this Christmas and they will always be grateful for the existence of Tamiflu. 

Research shows that the sooner Tamiflu is administered to patients suffering from the swine flu virus the greater the chances of a full recovery are. In fact, doctors say that it is best if you get Tamiflu within 24 hours of the symptoms first appearing.

The swine flu virus has killed a number of people in the United Kingdom this year already and unlike most flu viruses it tends to target younger individuals rather than the elderly. Other categories of people who are at the picture risk are those who are obese, pregnant and those with existing respiratory illnesses.

Taking obvious sensible precautions like washing your hands and staying away from others infected with flu makes a huge difference in the likelihood of you getting swine flu. Eating healthy, getting exercise and generally looking after yourself could mean you get through the flu season without catching anything.

Tamiflu has been shown not only to be effective to treat the H1N1 swine flu virus but also the much more deadly bird flu H5N1 virus in those very rare cases when it infects humans.
