According to a health official, an overwhelming number of Influenza A(H1N1) cases will go away with time, and paracetamol and a good decongestant can manage the symptoms of the swine flu.
Health Undersecretary Mario Villaverde told the Philippine Daily Inquirer on Friday night - "If you have fever, you take paracetamol. If you have colds, you take a decongestant".
It is important to note, though, that now is the best time to prepare for its more virulent form, as stated by Senator Gordon, chair of the Philippine National Red Cross. He said schools, communities and companies should have their respective plans and conduct drills.
Also, people with the flu should still stay at home to prevent the spread of the flu.
