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.

Supportive care involving rest, hydration and over-the-counter fever and pain relievers helps manage flu symptoms.
Annual flu vaccination for both adults and children is a key preventive measure. Consulting a health care provider is vital in both cases to tailor treatment plans based on individual health status and circumstances.
