[QUOTE="rlsnights, post: 306015, member: 7948"] Too late to start antiviral drug treatment - must be started within 2 days of becoming sick. Most places have stopped testing for H1N1 because there's pretty much no point. If you or any family members are immuno-compromised then you should go to doctor at first sign of illness as should all immediate family members. If you're in this group you probably know it and have been told when to be concerned and what to do about it. We certainly have. Otherwise, only reason for going is if severe sx develop - persistent high fever, severe cough/difficulty breathing, dehydration - in other words the same kinds of symptoms that would send you to the doctor if you had the "regular" flu. Doesn't sound like she has severe symptoms at this point but you will have to be the judge of that. Hope she gets feeling better soon. [/QUOTE]
