Zanamivir is an antiviral medication that can be administered via inhalation and is effective against both influenza A and B. Amantadine is also effective against influenza A but is administered orally. Acyclovir is used for the treatment of herpes virus infections and Virazole is used for the treatment of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections. Therefore, Zanamivir would be the best choice for the patient's requirements.
