Introduction
Influenza refers to the flu. Medications for treating influenza include Ammonium Caffeine Yellow Sensitivity Capsules, Yinqiao Jiedu Tablets, Oseltamivir Phosphate Capsules, Lianhua Qingwen Capsules, and Ibuprofen Tablets. However, please note that medication selection and usage should follow a doctor's advice, based on the patient's condition and symptoms. Meanwhile, during the course of medication, patients should maintain a light diet and avoid excessive fatigue.
Generally, "flu" refers to influenza. Medications for treating influenza include Aminophenol Yellow敏 Capsules (Aminophenol Yellow Min Capsules), Yin Qiao Jie Du Tablets, Oseltamivir Phosphate Capsules, Lianhua Qingwen Capsules, and Ibuprofen Tablets. Detailed explanations are as follows:
1. Aminophenol Yellow敏 Capsules (Aminophenol Yellow Min Capsules)
Aminophenol Yellow敏 Capsules contain paracetamol, caffeine, chlorpheniramine maleate, and artificial bezoar. They have effects of antipyresis and analgesia, and help alleviate symptoms such as runny nose, nasal congestion, and sneezing, thus improving symptoms of influenza.
2. Yin Qiao Jie Du Tablets
Yin Qiao Jie Du Tablets have functions of dispersing wind to relieve exterior syndromes and clearing heat to detoxify. They are suitable for wind-heat type colds and are effective in treating symptoms of fever, headache, cough, dry mouth, and sore throat associated with influenza.
3. Oseltamivir Phosphate Capsules
Oseltamivir Phosphate Capsules are neuraminidase inhibitors that effectively inhibit both influenza A and B viruses. They can block the release of the influenza virus from infected cells, thereby reducing viral spread.
4. Lianhua Qingwen Capsules
Lianhua Qingwen Capsules have effects of clearing plague toxins and ventilating the lungs to relieve heat. They can improve symptoms caused by influenza such as fever or high fever, chills, muscle pain, nasal congestion with runny nose, cough, and headache, while also enhancing the body's immunity.
5. Ibuprofen Tablets
Ibuprofen Tablets belong to the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and have antipyretic, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory effects. When influenza presents with symptoms such as high fever, headache, and joint pain, Ibuprofen Tablets can effectively reduce body temperature and alleviate pain.
However, please note that medication selection and use should follow medical advice, based on the patient's specific condition and symptoms. Additionally, during medication, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid excessive fatigue, drink plenty of water to promote metabolism, and aid in recovery.
