Introduction
In general, Xiao'er Chai Gui Tui Re Granules can be used for type A influenza. It is important to develop good personal hygiene habits in daily life, such as washing hands frequently, especially before meals, after using the toilet, and upon returning from outings, using running water and soap to thoroughly clean the hands.

Generally speaking, "Avian Flu" refers to Influenza A. Pediatric Chai Gui Tui Re Granules can be used for Influenza A, but it is recommended to use under the guidance of a physician. Detailed analysis is as follows:
Influenza A is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by the Influenza A virus. Pediatric Chai Gui Tui Re Granules are a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine preparation. Its main ingredients include Bupleurum root, Cinnamon twig, Pueraria root, Watermeal, Baikal skullcap root, White peony root, Cicada slough, and others. It has the functions of inducing perspiration to relieve exterior symptoms and clearing internal heat to reduce fever. When patients with Influenza A exhibit symptoms such as fever, headache, runny nose, thirst, sore throat, dark urine, and constipation, Pediatric Chai Gui Tui Re Granules can help alleviate discomfort symptoms like fever, regulate the balance between pathogenic and protective forces in the body, and assist the body in fighting against the virus.
Some components of Pediatric Chai Gui Tui Re Granules also have antiviral, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory effects and can partially inhibit the inflammatory response caused by the Influenza A virus. However, they cannot replace specific antiviral medications for Influenza A, such as Oseltamivir Phosphate Capsules. For severe cases of Influenza A, using only Pediatric Chai Gui Tui Re Granules is insufficient, and comprehensive treatment is required.
Maintain good personal hygiene habits in daily life, such as washing hands frequently, especially before meals, after using the toilet, and upon returning from outdoor activities. Use running water and soap to thoroughly clean your hands. At the same time, keep the living environment clean and hygienic, regularly open windows for ventilation, maintain fresh indoor air, and reduce the accumulation of viruses indoors.
