Co-infection with influenza A and influenza B requires prompt medical attention. Strictly follow the doctor's treatment recommendations, as the physician may prescribe appropriate medications based on the condition. During the infection period, implement isolation measures to prevent transmission to others. Wearing masks, frequent handwashing, and avoiding close contact with others are effective ways to reduce the risk of spreading the virus. Regularly monitor symptoms during infection, such as fever, cough, and fatigue.
