My 20 months old son has got flu. which medication would you recomend?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends/ comfort: Tamiflu is approved for such kids but must be started in the first 48-72 hrs to have any benefit & has many side effects that mimic flu symptoms. It can be helpful. Comfort measures that focus on maintaining fluid intake, rest & basic nutrition are a must. Avoid aspirin products.
