You can be safe being in close contact with others again either 7 days after the first symptoms appeared or 24 hours after the last symptom went away, whichever is longer.

Does the swine flu shot help you?
Yes, it's a vaccination that helps you prevent the swine flu infection.
Do you get spots if you get Swine Flu?
No you don't unless you have a secondary infection.
Does Swine Flu cause pneumonia?
Yes it can. Complications from swine flu can cause respiratory infections including pneumonia. Swine flu itself can evolve into viral pneumonia, or it can be what is called an "opportunistic" bacterial infection (secondary infection) that a weakened immune system or one that is busy fighting the virus can allow.
How much longer until the Swine Flu is over?
Once flu season is over....which I think is may or June...but when flu season comes back around november, so does the swine flu.
Why do antibiotics have an effect on Swine Flu?
They do not have an effect on swine flu, but can be helpful if a secondary bacterial infection occurs with the flu or after the flu. Antibiotics have no effect on viruses. The flu is caused by viruses. Antibiotics are for treating infections by bacteria, not for treating infections by viruses.
How you know if you have the Swine Flu or not?
The only way to know for sure that it is the H1N1/09 (swine flu) is to have lab testing. Otherwise you can only tell by symptoms which are virtually the same as regular flu. See the related question for information about the symptoms of swine flu.
Can you get Swine Flu if you come in contact with someone who had Swine Flu?
Not if they are no longer infected. If you are in contact with them after they had the flu but it has been a full 24 hours since they last had a fever without taking fever-reducing medicine, then they should no longer be able to pass the flu virus to you.
Do artificial colors cause Swine Flu?
No information suggests that there is any connection between the viral infection that causes swine flu and food colors or other artificial colors. Swine flu (H1N1) is caused by a virus (Type A, H1N1/09 influenza virus), as is the "regular" flu.
Does an ear infection have to do with the Swine Flu?
Not really, other than when you have the flu you may be more susceptible to bacterial infections (usually ear infections are caused by bacteria, not viruses like the swine flu). Any time there is any kind of infection of the respiratory system, the ears can get an accumulation of fluids that encourages a secondary ear infection.
