According to the situation you described, the child is over 6 years old and has the flu, which is mainly caused by the influenza virus. The main treatment medication at the moment is oseltamivir. Oseltamivir generally needs to be taken orally for at least 5 days. If mycoplasma infection is ruled out, azithromycin can be stopped.
