Oseltamivir phosphate only treats influenza A and B and does not work for the common cold.
Oseltamivir phosphate is a neuraminidase inhibitor, an anti-influenza virus drug that inhibits the replication of the influenza virus in the body as well as its further spread. The common cold, on the other hand, is a common acute viral infection of the upper respiratory tract. Clinical manifestations are mostly nasal congestion, runny nose, fever, headache and so on. Systemic symptoms are usually mild and mostly self-limiting.
Oseltamivir phosphate is a prescription drug and common side effects include nausea and vomiting, allergy, and even neurological adverse reactions. It is contraindicated for those who are allergic to this product.
The above drugs need to be standardized and rationally applied under the guidance of professional physicians and pharmacists. If the symptoms fail to improve or even worsen gradually, you should consult a regular hospital in time and cooperate with the doctor to improve the examination and standardize the treatment.
