What medications manage H3N2 infection symptoms?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am a 32-year-old male. I have had a high fever, sore throat, body pain, cough, and vomiting for the last five days. I have tested positive for an H3N2 infection. So, how can I take care of myself? Do I need to isolate myself from my family members? How long would it take to recover from this infection? Kindly help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
The symptoms of influenza infection usually last for a week. Since it has been five days, antiviral treatment is not necessary. The infective period lasts for several weeks in influenza infection. I suggest you take the medications mentioned below and follow the following instructions.
1. Tab. Paracetamol 650 mg, every six hours after food.
2. Tab. Vitamin C 500 mg chewable tablet once daily after food.
3. Eat a balanced and healthy diet. Consume one to two eggs daily.
I hope this helps you.
Thank you.
