Amantadine may reduce the symptoms related to Avian influenza.It is ineffective against type B or C.A clear liquid diet is not necessary for influenza,but maintaining hydration is important.Aspirin is not recommended in children because of increased risk of Reye's syndrome; acetaminophen or ibuprofen is a better choice.Preventive antibiotics are not indicated for influenza unless there is evidence of a secondary bacterial infection.
