Medication Selection for Treating Influenza A and Influenza B

Treatment for both influenza A and influenza B primarily involves antiviral medications. These drugs, used under a doctor's guidance, commonly include oseltamivir and zanamivir, which can alleviate symptoms and shorten the duration of illness. Prompt medical attention is especially important for high-risk groups such as the elderly and pregnant women. In addition, symptomatic treatments—such as fever reduction, fluid replacement, and rest—are also necessary. Patients should consult a physician before taking any medication, strictly follow medical advice, and avoid the misuse of antibiotics to prevent the development of drug resistance.
