Bird Flu Symptoms & Natural Treatments
Virus of bird flu can be spread thru seasonal flu, pandemic flu, avian flu, swine flu etc. Seasonal flu generally occurs during fall and winter because it is seasonal in nature. Pandemic flu refers to particularly virulent strains of flu that spread rapidly from person to person. Avian flu also occurs in wild aquatic birds, ducks and pigs. It does not normally spread from birds to humans.
Mask for bird flu are categorized as swine flu mask, respirator mask, bird flu mask, pandemic flu mask etc. People need to be aware of the type of flu they are affected with. Swine flu masks should be used with common sense such as covering the mouth while coughing, washing hands frequently, avoiding social gatherings etc this will help to reduce chance of getting flu. Respirator mask are also known as N95 because of its high filtering ability. This respirator masks work best by drawing air through filtering material and protecting the wearer. Bird flu is also known as avian flu or H5N1. It carried by bird's, passes between birds, mutates, evolves and is then passed to humans or swine.
In persons infected with bird flu there are two main causes of the disease that are distinguished by low and high extremes of virulence. The low pathogenic form may go undetected and usually causes only mild symptoms of bird flu which may include ruffled feathers and a drop in egg production. The highly pathogenic form of bird flu spreads more rapidly through flocks of poultry. This form may cause disease that affects multiple internal organs, and it has more mortality rate within hours.
Symptoms of bird flu are much like normal viral infection symptoms and can include a cough, sore throat, fever, muscle aches and fatigue in human. Bird flu symptoms can vary according to specific viral subtype and strain. Infections with symptoms for bird flu virus can also lead to pneumonia and other severe respiratory problems.
Influenza is a respiratory infection. Antiviral medications used to treat human flu viruses can help to reduce symptoms of bird flu by stopping the spread of virus within body. So far, the strains of bird flu virus passed onto humans from birds have been affected by these treatments for bird flu. Bird flu virus evolves extensively over time and virus could become resistant to stockpiled bird flu treatments. Problems with antiviral drugs are related to its shelf life, effectiveness of the drug once virus mutates and high probability that the virus will develop a resistance to any drugs that are widely used.
Those affected should take home treatments of bird flu to prevent spread of virus and rest in bed, avoid physical exertion, and also avoid alcohol and tobacco. Stay away from those people who have flu if possible. People should avoid social places to put a stop to spread of the virus through self. Cough or sneeze in to a soft tissue and carefully dispose of tissues after using them and wash your hands. Drinking plenty of fluids such as water, fruit juices and protein soups also help in alleviating symptoms of bird flu by maintaining level of water in the body.
