As per the present knowledge there is no direct relation of swine to the respiratory infections. Swine flue has nothing to do with swine. You may be treated on the grounds of routine respiratory infections. Please go for the routine tests of blood , CT Scan of sinuses, ENT Endoscopy to find out the real cause and get treated accordingly.
