plenty of fluids, keep her temperature down and if possible keep visiting or anyone coming to the house to a minimum. Have you contacted your local swine flu number so that she can be given tamiflu? Hope that she feels better soon.
Om shanti, namesté, good luck to all who are embarking on the IVA journey, it isn't always an easy one but the outcome is the best.

just keep her warm and topped up with fluids as if she has a pyrexia she will be perspiring quite a bit and runs the risk of dehydration. Paracetamol or Asprin taken according to the manufacturers instructions are very good antipyretics. If her temperature goes above 38C or she develops a cough with productive sputum then she should seek further medical advice.
