Dr. Li Jingli
Oseltamivir is effective for treating influenza B. Pediatric Paracetamol, Chlorpheniramine and Artificial Cow-Bezoar Granules is a compound preparation whose main ingredients include paracetamol, chlorpheniramine maleate, and artificial bezoar. These components have analgesic, antipyretic, anti-allergic, and antitussive effects. For symptoms caused by influenza B (flu type B), such as fever, headache, limb pain, sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, and sore throat, this granule formulation can provide effective relief. The medication should be used strictly according to medical instructions, with attention paid to potential side effects and contraindications—for example, it is contraindicated in individuals with known allergies. Furthermore, since influenza B is caused by a virus, comprehensive treatment may also require the use of other antiviral medications.
