What is the quick way to do to help my child recover from the flu?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No quick way: If really has influenza, treatment with tamiflu (oseltamivir) or similar agents within 24-48 hrs of onset may reduce the duration of symptoms and lessen complications (although there is ?
