We all know that the swine flu, also known as the H1N1, has been on the news for quite sometimes. In fact, it had become a widespread pandemic across the United States. Many people have caught the swine flu (H1N1) and some even died from it. I have not caught the swine flu (H1N1) but my sister did.

The day before my sister became terribly ill with the swine flu (H1N1), she complained about her throat being sore. I had advised her to drink some tea with lemon and to make sure she kept herself warm. She has a tendency to leave the house with her hair a bit damp from taking a shower so I thought nothing of it. However, the very next day she woke up with a very high temperature. She waited until noon time before going to see a doctor. That was when she was diagnosed with the swine flu (H1N1).

My mother flew in to be by her side. She wanted to make sure my sister was resting and eating properly through it all. Thankfully, she’s alright now and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.To some people, the swine flu (H1N1) is just like any other flu strain out there. It’s just over-hyped by the media since people died from the H1N1 this year.
