[|Human|] my son had swine flu last year an since then everytime he has a cold it goes on to his chest an requires antibiotics, he doesnt seem to be able to fight it off it just lingers around until the antibiotics kick in he seemed fine before catching swine flu. i was wondering if there are lasting effects once catching swine flu. many thanks
[|AI|]  Thanks for posting your query to Chat Doctor. Swine flu is caused by influenza virus and there are so many types of Insula virus are present because of antigenic variation in their genome. Swine flu body develop immunity against virus when we got infected with swine flu but next time different influenza virus can cause infection. Viral infection are usually acquired when host immune power is low. So you need to boost up immune level of your child. It can be done by taking multivitamin(Complex, vitamin C, E etc.), zinc orally .give him good nutritious date, fruit juices .test hemoglobin level and if it is low Iron therapy should be started .take care
