What to do if you have Symptoms of Flu
Influenza, often called the “flu”, is a respiratory illness caused by the influenza virus. Flu is thought to spread mostly by the coughing and sneezing of people who are ill with influenza. If you or your child has asthma and you think you or your child has flu, call your doctor right away. If needed, he or she will prescribe an antiviral medicine, Oseltamivir, that treats the flu. The medicine is most helpful if it is started soon (within the first 48 hours) after the person with asthma becomes sick. If lab testing for flu was done, treatment should not wait for test results to come back. Start treatment right away.
