Influenza refers to the flu. Patients with influenza may benefit more from medications such as compound paracetamol capsules, paracetamol capsules, ibuprofen suspension, oseltamivir phosphate capsules, and Lianhua Qingwen capsules. If necessary, these medications should be used under a doctor's guidance. The analysis is as follows:
1. Compound Paracetamol Capsules
Compound paracetamol capsules are a compound preparation containing antipyretic and analgesic components. They can relieve symptoms such as fever, headache, nasal congestion, and sore throat. They work by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins, reducing inflammatory responses, thereby achieving antipyretic and analgesic effects.
2. Paracetamol Capsules
Paracetamol capsules exert antipyretic effects by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis, reducing the thermoregulatory function of the hypothalamic thermoregulatory center, and lowering the body temperature set point. Additionally, they reduce the release of inflammatory mediators and alleviate pain.
3. Ibuprofen Suspension
Ibuprofen suspension is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve symptoms such as fever and pain. It exerts antipyretic, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting cyclooxygenase activity and reducing prostaglandin synthesis.
4. Oseltamivir Phosphate Capsules
Oseltamivir phosphate capsules are antiviral medications. They work by inhibiting the neuraminidase activity on the surface of the influenza virus, preventing the release of newly formed viral particles and reducing viral spread within the body, thereby controlling the progression of the disease.
5. Lianhua Qingwen Capsules
Lianhua Qingwen capsules are a traditional Chinese medicine formulation with functions of clearing heat and detoxifying, and ventilating the lungs to relieve heat. It is used for treating influenza belonging to the syndrome of heat-toxin invading the lungs. It can alleviate inflammatory responses caused by the influenza virus and relieve symptoms such as cough and sore throat.
In daily life, attention should be paid to food hygiene, maintaining a bland and easily digestible diet. Avoid overly salty, sweet, greasy, or spicy foods that may hinder recovery.
