Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
A 3-month-old infant infected with influenza B should seek medical attention promptly and receive treatment as advised by a physician. Due to their immature immune systems, infants this age have weaker resistance to viruses and are more prone to complications. Doctors may provide supportive care including nutritional support, fluid replacement, antiviral therapy, and symptomatic treatment to help relieve symptoms and promote recovery. Parents can also assist by ensuring the infant gets plenty of fluids and adequate rest to alleviate symptoms and support healing.
