Can oseltamivir prevent influenza?
Recently, the flu is high. In order to avoid infection, many parents try to prevent their children from taking drugs in advance, which makes the "magic medicine" oseltamivir become the focus of attention again.
As a preventive drug, oseltamivir has a certain preventive effect on influenza. But before taking it, Make sure that there are patients with high fever who have been exposed to influenza in these two days., then, as a precaution, you can Within 48 hoursTake oseltamivir. If the contact time exceeds 48 hours, The preventive effect is not great..
The preventive dose and therapeutic dose of oseltamivir are different. The preventive dose is taken once a day for 7 days. The treatment dose is twice a day for 5 days.

What are the procedures for going to a fever clinic? Can I go to the street sampling point to do nucleic acid?
Before going to the fever clinic Be well protected.Wear N95 mask or medical surgical mask, children have special medical protective mask, and the fever clinic should take a special fever clinic channel and keep a distance of more than one meter.
truthfully Explain the recent epidemiological history to the doctor,Who did you contact, whether you came from the epidemic risk area, whether you came back from abroad, or cold chain staff.
The fever clinic also takes into account the convenience of patients seeking medical treatment, and often comes to the hospital to take the number according to the condition. then First go to collect nucleic acid and do blood routine.Generally, the blood routine report takes about half an hour. The nucleic acid will be reported in two to three hours. Recently, due to the peak of influenza, the number of patients with fever has increased sharply, and the waiting time may exceed 3-4 hours. After that, according to the report, the doctor prescribed medicine after the face-to-face consultation. If necessary, further chest X-ray examination should be done.
It should be reminded that patients with fever It is not recommended to go to street sampling points for nucleic acid sampling.. Because, by contrast, the nucleic acid sampling points in fever clinics are more standardized, and it is not easy to cross-infect with the surrounding people.
Vaccination against influenza is the most effective prevention method.
In addition to daily protection, the most effective way to prevent influenza is to vaccinate against influenza.
But it should be noted that the flu vaccineIt usually takes about 2-4 weeks after inoculation to produce antibodies in the human body.After that, the antibody will gradually disappear within one year.
Moreover, the influenza virus strains that are popular every year are different, so,Every year, it is necessary to vaccinate against the popular influenza virus in advance.
After being vaccinated with influenza vaccine, the probability of being infected will be greatly reduced.But it doesn’t mean that it won’t be infected at all.. In addition, the trivalent and tetravalent influenza vaccines currently vaccinated cannot prevent all types of influenza, so,Vaccinators should also take precautions against influenza.
