What is the most effective medication for children with H1N1 flu?

There is no single most effective medication for children with influenza A. When children are infected with influenza A, antiviral medications and symptomatic treatments are commonly selected, such as oseltamivir phosphate dry suspension, baloxavir marboxil tablets, pediatric paracetamol chlorpheniramine tablets, pediatric ibuprofen suppositories, and ambroxol hydrochloride oral solution. It is recommended to use these medications under the guidance of a physician.

1. Antiviral medications: Oseltamivir phosphate dry suspension is a commonly used treatment for children with influenza A. It is generally recommended to start using it within 48 hours after symptom onset, when it tends to be more effective. It can effectively shorten the duration of illness, alleviate symptoms, and reduce the risk of complications. Baloxavir marboxil tablets can also be used in children, particularly suitable for those who cannot tolerate oseltamivir or have developed resistance to it.

2. Symptomatic treatments: If a child develops a fever with a temperature exceeding 38.5°C, pediatric paracetamol chlorpheniramine tablets or pediatric ibuprofen suppositories can be used for fever reduction. For cough with phlegm, ambroxol hydrochloride oral solution can be used to relieve cough and expel phlegm.

When administering medication, the dosage must strictly follow the child's weight and age; it should not be arbitrarily adjusted. At the same time, closely monitor the child's symptom changes and any adverse drug reactions. If symptoms such as rash, vomiting, or poor mental status appear, seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, encourage the child to drink plenty of water, rest adequately, and consume a light, easily digestible diet, which helps in recovery.
