Brief Answer:
No need to worry.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

Your son seems to have a simple viral infection which is the cause of electrolyte depletion as well as flu like symptoms. It does not necessarily have to be due to swine flu. You need not worry about the same. Irrespective of treatment such infections usually last for a week or so.

Let me know if I could help further.
