Wash your hands often.

The best way to protect yourself aganst swine influenza is just as for ordinary flu - wash your hands often.

Good hand hygiene with soap,water and hand alcohol reduces the risk of becoming infected.

If you have symptoms - especially after travel in affected areas - you have to contact your health care in order to take blood tests.

A mouth guard can prevent salvia from spreadin,and prevent you from getting virus by touching your mouth with your fingers. But a mouth guard don´t really has any major effect on infection.

Virus-inhibiting drugs can prevent that the infection breaks out or mitigate symptoms in individuals.

Against the spread of infection to the community,you need vaccine,which is alleged to take at least 3 months to obtain.

Antibiotics have no effect against influenza beacuse antibiotics kill bacteria and not virus.

Antibiotics can be inserted in the bacteriological consequent,such as pneumonia.

I have picked up this information from a Swedish news channel - Nyhetskanalen.
