Patients with type B influenza can generally undergo nebulizer therapy. Nebulization delivers medication directly to the respiratory tract, helping to relieve discomfort such as coughing and phlegm production, promoting resolution of inflammation, and thereby shortening the duration of illness. Nebulizer therapy should be administered by qualified medical professionals in a正规 hospital setting to ensure safety and effectiveness. Additionally, patients should follow their doctor's instructions and adhere to the prescribed treatment course to facilitate recovery.
