Unlike the common cold, influenza is an acute respiratory infection caused by a virus, which is highly contagious and can be spread through proximity droplets and contact, such as contact with the patient’s respiratory secretions, body fluids and objects contaminated with the virus may also cause infection. The symptoms of influenza are high fever, headache, aching limbs, cough, etc. If there is no comorbidity, the course of the disease is usually about a week, and the duration of fever can range from 3 to 7 days depending on the virus. The treatment mainly includes the following points: 1. General treatment: rest, drink more water, and closely observe the changes in the condition; antipyretic treatment can be given to children with high fever. Usually the fever caused by influenza is high and the fever duration is long, so in order to reduce the side effects of drugs, two different antipyretic drugs can be used in rotation, such as Merlin and Tylenol orally in rotation, low fever does not require the use of antipyretic drugs. School-age children need to be cured before they can go to school. If they go to school with illness, it is not only detrimental to their own recovery, but also easy to spread the virus to other students as a source of infection, which is not conducive to the control of infectious diseases. 2, children with influenza generally do not need to use antibacterial drugs, unless clearly combined with bacterial infection. 3, Chinese medicine evidence-based treatment light symptoms evidence-based treatment plan (the following is the amount of adult medicine, children should be used under the guidance of the doctor’s discretion) 1, wind-heat offense Wei main symptoms: early onset, fever or no fever, red throat discomfort, light cough with little sputum, no sweating.
