For cough caused by influenza B, early treatment is the most important to prevent worsening of the condition. Try to avoid outdoor activities, drink plenty of water, and maintain good indoor ventilation. Enhancing nutrition and getting adequate rest can help alleviate symptoms. Timely use of antiviral medications, cough suppressants, and treatments that regulate local immune function may relieve coughing. It's important to keep the respiratory tract clean to reduce coughing. If symptoms such as fever or difficulty breathing occur, seek medical attention promptly to avoid delaying treatment.
