Most otherwise healthy people who have had the flu recover with no adverse after-effects in 7 to 10 days time. Some people can have secondary infections, such as viral or bacterial pneumonia, and will require extra time and medical care to recover. Those who have underlying health conditions have a higher risk to develop complications.

What is the origin of the name swine lu?
Swine flu was first discovered in people working with pigs. Flu is a disease that is transmitted in various forms among people, pigs, and birds. Sometimes bird flu is transmitted to pigs, and sometime pig flu is transmitted to people. What actually happens is that a pig has pig flu and catches bird flu. A chromosome from the bird flu gets mixed with the pig flu and changes it to a different type of flu. Then a person with human flu catches pig flu. A chromosome with pig and perhaps bird flu mixes with the human flu. The flu is mainly human flu but contains pig and bird flu chromosomes. It got the name swine flu because people working with pigs caught it first. Because it has the pig and bird chromosomes, people with resistance to human flu, have less resistance to swine flu.
