Patient's question:
My daughter hasn't been feeling well these days. She has a yellow complexion and doesn't want to eat. She only ate a few spoonfuls of rice porridge in a day. She has become much thinner, and her weight was already slightly low to begin with, making it more noticeable now. She also has a fever. The hospital examination said it was the flu, and they gave her oseltamivir phosphate granules to take home and administer herself.What kind of help do I need: Is the use of oseltamivir phosphate granules appropriate?
Doctor's answer:
