Any stress on the immunological system can leave you more vulnerable to catching other Infectious Diseases. Swine Flu is a virus that is different from the cold virus but once your body has worked to get rid of the cold virus it may be more susceptible to catching another different virus soon after exposure to the cold due to this weakening of the body and immune system from the stress of the prior infection.
