For viral infections, antiviral medication is the go to treatment. To be most effective, antiviral medications regimes must begin 48 hours after flu symptoms have shown. However, caution must be taken with antivirals. Dangerous side effects can occur in some and overuse can result in a viral resistance. Large consumptions of fluids are highly recommended to prevent dehydration from high fevers. Pain relievers are suggested to control bodily aches and pains. Because the same virus does not cause colds, common cold treatments are NOT recommended.
