How long should one wait to have a child after contracting influenza B?

For those planning to conceive after having influenza B, it is recommended to start preparing for pregnancy one month after full recovery. This is because the influenza B virus may adversely affect fetal development, and medications used during treatment could also impact the fetus. Therefore, after recovering from influenza B, it's important to wait for a period of time to ensure your body has stabilized and any drug residues have been completely metabolized, thereby minimizing potential risks to the fetus. Additionally, the month before conception and the first three months of pregnancy represent a sensitive period for fetal malformations. During this time, it's best to avoid going to crowded places, especially during winter and spring when flu outbreaks are more common. If going out is necessary, wearing a mask is advised to reduce the risk of catching a cold.
