I just came back from the hospital for the second time to pick up my Tamiflu since the tests confirmed that I am a confirmed case of H1N1 "swine flu".
The head of infectious diseases told me that people who take AAS have a strong inflammatory response to H1N1 attacking the respiratory system. This, in turn, can easily cause the your bronchial airways to swell and restrict air intake, which is very dangerous.
If you are diagnosed with H1N1 and are coughing up phlegm, please make sure to get Tamiflu, a non steroidal anti inflammatory and an antibiotic to prevent secondary infections. I was also prescribed an asthma inhaler to open up my airways even further.
I definitely don't want to end up fighting for my life on a ventilator like a guy I saw.
