Patient's question:
The child has the flu, aged 6 years and 8 months, weighing 19.5 kg. They have been taking Azithromycin for 4 days. The fever has subsided, so is Azithromycin still needed?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the child is over 6 years old and suffers from the flu, which is primarily caused by the influenza virus. The main treatment medication at present is oseltamivir. Oseltamivir generally needs to be taken orally for at least 5 days. If mycoplasma infection is ruled out, azithromycin can be discontinued. The above suggestions are for the question "What should I do if my child gets the flu?" and are hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
