What precautions should I take if I tested positive for swine flu?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

• The best home remedy will be to take a steam inhalation four to five times a day.

• Regarding the nasal spray, taking Nasivion nasal spray (Oxymetazoline), two sprays in each nostril, twice a day for three days might provide some relief.

• If your symptoms persist consult a specialist.

Get well soon.

• Your infection will be contagious to others for the next three to five days.

Stay relaxed.
