Influenza A refers to type A influenza. Besides oseltamivir, patients can also use baloxavir marboxil, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and other medications under a doctor's guidance to alleviate symptoms. Additionally, patients should get plenty of rest and avoid fatigue; maintain a light diet and avoid greasy or spicy foods; drink ample warm water daily to promote metabolism; and engage in regular exercise to strengthen immunity. If symptoms worsen, patients should seek timely medical attention at a hospital to prevent disease progression.
