I'm looking for help understanding what influenza is and if it includes swine flu. I've heard of both of these viruses but I'm not sure if they're the same thing or if they're different.
What does influenza mean, is it swine flu

Influenza:
Influenza, commonly known as the flu, is an infectious disease caused by an influenza virus. Symptoms can be mild to severe and can include fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, and body aches. Most cases of the flu will resolve on their own without medical intervention.
Swine Flu:
Swine flu is a type of influenza virus that is common in pigs. It can be passed from pigs to humans, and vice versa. Swine flu can cause serious illness and can even result in death in some cases. Symptoms of swine flu are similar to those of regular flu, and include fever, body aches, fatigue, headache, sore throat, cough, and runny nose. Treatment for swine flu is similar to that of regular flu, and includes antiviral medications and supportive care. Vaccines are available to help prevent swine flu infection.

Influenza is an infectious disease caused by the influenza virus. It is highly contagious, and can cause severe symptoms including fever, sore throat, muscle aches, fatigue, and chest discomfort. Swine flu is a type of influenza virus that primarily affects pigs, but can also spread to humans. Swine flu is caused by a different strain of the influenza virus than regular influenza, and it can cause more serious symptoms than regular influenza.

Influenza, or "the flu," is a contagious respiratory illness caused by viruses that infect the nose, throat, and lungs. Symptoms include fever, sore throat, runny nose, muscle and body aches, headache, and fatigue. Swine flu is an infectious disease caused by type A influenza viruses that normally circulate among pigs in North America. It is sometimes called the H1N1 virus. While there have been some cases of swine flu in humans, the virus is not easily spread from person to person. It is important to take the necessary precautions to avoid catching the flu, such as washing your hands, getting vaccinated, and avoiding contact with people who are sick.

Influenza, commonly known as the flu, is a contagious respiratory illness caused by viruses. It can cause mild to severe illness, and in some cases, can lead to death. The flu is spread through tiny droplets of saliva and mucus that are released when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby.
Swine flu, also known as Influenza A (H1N1), is a type of influenza virus that is common in pigs. It is an infectious respiratory disease caused by a virus, and it can be passed from person to person. In 2009, a new strain of H1N1 virus emerged, causing a global pandemic. This strain is sometimes referred to as “swine flu”.
The symptoms of swine flu are similar to those of other types of flu, including fever, chills, body aches, sore throat, headache, and fatigue. In some cases, it can also cause vomiting and diarrhea. It is important to note that swine flu is generally mild, and most people who get it recover without needing medical treatment. However, it can be serious in some cases, and can lead to complications such as pneumonia and respiratory failure. It is recommended that people who have underlying medical conditions or weakened immune systems seek medical attention if they develop symptoms of swine flu. Vaccination is also recommended for people who are at higher risk of developing complications.

Influenza, commonly known as the flu, is an infectious virus that affects the respiratory system. It is caused by several strains of the virus, including swine flu, which is a type of influenza A. Symptoms of the flu usually include fever, chills, body aches, fatigue, sore throat, and cough. It can be spread from person to person through contact with saliva or mucus, and through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Complications from the flu can include pneumonia, bronchitis, sinus and ear infections, and can even be life-threatening in some cases. It is important to get a flu shot each year and practice good hygiene to help prevent the spread of the virus.

Influenza, commonly known as "the flu," is an infectious disease caused by viruses. It can range in severity from mild to life-threatening, and symptoms typically include fever, chills, cough, sore throat, muscle and joint pain, congestion, and fatigue. Swine flu is a specific type of influenza virus, so it falls under the umbrella term of influenza.
