How long does it take for a two-year-old child to recover naturally from influenza A virus?
Disease description:
My baby is now two years old. He recently started attending kindergarten, and ever since then, I'm not sure if it's due to environmental factors or something else, but his immunity has become particularly poor. Recently, he was diagnosed with the H1N1 influenza virus. Could you please tell me how long it usually takes for a two-year-old child to recover from the H1N1 virus naturally?

Children have relatively weak immune systems and are highly susceptible to influenza viruses in crowded places, which can lead to colds. Main symptoms of a cold include runny nose, sore throat, cough, and fever. Typically, the illness lasts about one week. You may take your child to the hospital for treatment. Under medical guidance, oral antiviral medications and symptom-relieving drugs can be administered.
