Swine flu deaths rise

Gavin investigates swine flu

The number of deaths linked to swine flu in the UK has risen to 29, but experts say there's still nothing to panic about.

Doctors say lots of people are coming to their surgeries because they think they have swine flu, but it often turns out they don't.

That means they don't have time to deal with people who really are sick.

Experts say even if you do get swine flu, the chances are that it will be just like normal flu.

What to do if you're upset by the news

People die from normal flu every year, but the reason swine flu is in the news so much is that it affects people who wouldn't normally be at risk.

Most people who get swine flu will get over it without needing to visit a doctor.

Don't worry

It's not unless a sufferer is already ill, very young or very old that they should worry.

And even then, there are drugs called tamiflu which can help cure the virus.

The government is working on a vaccine, which is intended to stop people from catching it in the first place.
