What's the use of Antiflu Des Pediatrico for kids?

Hi PediatricNurseAmy! Antiflu Des Pediatrico is an antiviral medication used to treat and prevent influenza (flu) in children. It works best when given within 2 days of symptoms appearing. However, it's important to note that it doesn't cure the flu and may have side effects. Always consult with a healthcare professional before administering any medication to children.
Great question! Antiflu Des Pediatrico is not a substitute for the flu vaccine. The CDC recommends annual flu vaccination for everyone 6 months and older, as the best way to prevent the flu. Antiviral medications like Antiflu Des Pediatrico are a second line of defense and can be used in conjunction with the vaccine.
It's also worth noting that Antiflu Des Pediatrico is not recommended for all children. Children under 2 years old and those with certain health conditions may be at higher risk for complications and should avoid this medication. As with any medication, it's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best course of action for your child's individual needs.
