What medicine should children take to fight against viruses?

Ribavirin, also known as ribavirin

In 1999, after the local approval of Virolin (morpholino hydrochloride) was recommended to be discontinued, this drug became one of the safer Western medicines, and its effectiveness was also guaranteed. It has a good inhibitory effect on respiratory tract viruses (also known as influenza viruses), and has a special children's dosage form. There are also corresponding usage and dosage for children under 18 years old. Doctors sometimes recommend the use of this type of drug by children with diseases such as herpetic pharyngitis.

Isatis root

Honeysuckle, Forsythia suspensa, Scutellaria baicalensis, Forsythia suspensa, etc. all have obvious antiviral effects, but because children cannot take Chinese herbal medicines directly, most of the clinical practice uses some compound preparations oral liquids, which have good therapeutic effects.

Lanqin oral liquid

Its ingredients are Isatis root, Scutellaria baicalensis, Gardenia jasminoides, Phellodendron chinense and Sterculia lychnophora, which can clear away heat and detoxify, relieve sore throat and reduce swelling. It has a particularly good effect on symptoms such as sore throat and dry throat caused by damp-heat in the lungs and stomach in children. In subsequent clinical applications, it was also found that Lanqin oral liquid has a unique preventive and therapeutic effect on hand, foot and mouth virus. It is the only recommended Chinese patent medicine preparation in the National Children's Prevention and Treatment of Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease Manual and can be used as a household medicine. The ingredients of Pueraria lobata oral venom are dandelion, isatis root, bitter herb, and scutellaria baicalensis. The efficacy and mechanism of action are similar to those of Lanqin oral liquid. As a drug deeply loved by pediatric clinicians, it also has a relatively good antiviral effect.

Shuanghuanglian oral liquid

Its ingredients are honeysuckle, scutellaria baicalensis, and forsythia suspensa. It is not the coptis chinensis that everyone thinks of. Pathological studies have shown that it has an inhibitory effect on influenza virus and respiratory syncytial virus, and can prevent and treat colds and influenza. However, it should not be abused when taking it. In addition to its antiviral effect, it is also effective for wind-heat colds. However, if you have symptoms of a wind-heat cold such as nasal congestion and clear runny nose after catching a cold, you must not take the medicine casually.
