Question: What’s the difference between flu treatment for kids and flu treatment for adults?
Answer:Flu treatment differs between kids and adults. For children, antiviral medications like oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza) can be prescribed, particularly for severe cases or when underlying medical conditions are present. Consulting a health care professional before administering these drugs is essential to weigh the benefits against potential risks. Supportive care involving rest, fluids and fever-reducing medications is also crucial for children's recovery. Monitoring for complications and seeking medical attention as needed is recommended.
