Treatment of Influenza
The antiviral drug amantadine has a beneficial effect on cases of influenza involving the type A virus. A newer category of drugs, the neuraminidase inhibitors, was introduced in the late 1990s; these drugs inhibit both the influenza A and B viruses. Other than this, bed rest, ingestion of fluids, and the use of analgesics to control fever remain the standard treatment. It is recommended that children and teenagers with the flu not be given aspirin, as treatment of viral infections with aspirin is associated with Reye syndrome, a very serious illness.
