For patients with influenza B, it is generally recommended to continue taking medication for a period of time after body temperature returns to normal in order to consolidate the therapeutic effect and prevent recurrence. The specific time to discontinue medication should be determined according to medical advice and individual condition. Generally speaking, if the patient has no other obvious symptoms after fever subsides and has completed an adequate course of treatment as directed by the doctor, discontinuation of medication may be considered. However, please note that it is best to consult a doctor before stopping medication to ensure full recovery.
