American doctors say that two drugs used to treat flu -- Tamiflu and Relenza -- seem to be effective at treating cases that have occurred there so far.
The treatments available currently seem to work for swine flu, but there is no vaccine available for it.
Cleanliness, good hygiene, washing hands, covering nose while coughing or sneezing are some of the ways of reducing the chances of spreading the flu.
