Thanks for opsting your query to HCM.
Swine flu is caused by influenza virus and there are so many types of Inluza virus are present because of antigenic variation in there genom .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( Bcomplex, vitamin C, E etc), zinc orally .give him good nutritious dite, fruit juices .
test haemoglobin level and if it is low Iron therapy should be started .
take care
