A member asked:

Good day, my 4 months old baby has flu, can i give her over the counter flu medication or take her to a paediatrician?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Comfort care: The general approach to flu in a 4 mo with the flu is supportive. Good nutrition (breastmilk) proper rest and close monitoring of breathing. If the kid begins breathing hard or feeding poorly they need to be seen. Tamiflu is a possible treatment for infants if started within the first 2 days but has many potential side effects in infants. I never use it outside the hospital setting.
