Most viruses have to run their course since there is no treatment to cure viruses yet. Swine Flu is no harder to treat than most other types of colds and flu.
In some people at high risk with underlying medical conditions, weak immune systems, or other reasons their bodies can not fight the viruses as well as others, there may be a need to be hospitalized for IV fluids for dehydration, oxygen because their lungs aren't working well, prevention of secondary bacterial infections like bronchitis and bacterial pneumonia, and for other support and monitoring. Many times with H1N1/09 Swine Flu it has been the young and healthy who are hit hardest by this type of flu, and they may wait until their symptoms are progressed into viral pneumonia before seeking treatment, which makes it a little harder to treat since they waited so long.
Prevention is the best plan, ask your health care professional if you should get a flu shot. For the 2010-2011 flu season in the US, the annual seasonal flu shot will contain the vaccine for H1N1/09 so no additional shot is needed now.
