Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
Treatment for influenza B in children includes antiviral medications and symptomatic treatments. Antiviral drugs, such as oseltamivir granules, can effectively inhibit the replication of the influenza B virus and alleviate symptoms. Additionally, to address symptoms caused by influenza B—such as fever and cough—heat-clearing and detoxifying agents like Pudilan Xiaoyan Oral Liquid and Pediatric Cold Granules, as well as antipyretics like ibuprofen and acetaminophen, may be used. Please note that all medications should be taken under medical supervision, with appropriate dosage and duration determined according to the child's age, weight, and condition.
