What is the best medicine to take when you have the flu?

Influenza is a respiratory disease caused by influenza virus infection. Antipyretic and analgesic drugs, antiviral drugs, and antibiotics are needed when combined with bacterial infection. Influenza can cause high fever, headache, body aches and other symptoms, and is contagious. For symptoms of discomfort, antipyretic drugs such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen can be used. For influenza viruses, antiviral medications such as oseltamivir, paramivir, and zanamivir can be used as early as possible. If there is a secondary bacterial infection, antibiotics can be used for anti-infection treatment, commonly used broad-spectrum antibiotics such as amoxicillin, cefuroxime, azithromycin and so on. During the onset of influenza, it is also necessary to pay attention to isolation, and the specific use of medication should be guided by a specialized doctor.
