Also known as H1N1 influenza virus, Swine Flu is the current panic in the world. People are getting killed at high rates due to this disease. This new virus is spreading so rapidly that people are not even getting aware of how to deal with it.

If your child shows any symptoms of Swine Flu then the first step you should take is to take him or her to a pediatrician. Some of the common symptoms of this flu are fever, cough, sore throat, body ache and headache. Anti-viral medications are easily available for this flu.

One of the key ways to protect the child from Swine Flu is to wash hands properly and frequently. Children should be encouraged to use alcohol-based hand wash sanitizers to keep the Swine Flu at bay.
