Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
If a toddler over three years old contracts influenza B, the following measures should be taken:
1. Ensure the child gets plenty of rest, drinks ample fluids, and maintain good indoor air circulation. Avoid exposing the child to others to reduce the risk of cross-infection.
2. Administer antiviral medications such as oseltamivir under medical guidance to help alleviate symptoms.
3. Provide light, easily digestible meals, encourage consumption of vegetables and fruits, and avoid oily, spicy, or irritating foods.
