Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
Children with influenza B fever should follow medical advice and use appropriate medications to control the fever. Under a doctor's guidance, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen or ibuprofen tablets, may be used; the dosage should be adjusted according to the child's weight and severity of symptoms. Antibiotics, such as cephalosporins or sulfonamides, may also be prescribed based on the specific situation. Additionally, under medical supervision, antiviral medications—such as anti-influenza drugs, antiviral antibiotics, or antiviral immunoglobulins—can be administered to help alleviate fever caused by viral infection.
