Be Ready to Treat Common Respiratory Illnesses
February 2025
Winter will continue to bring an uptick in flu, COVID-19, and strep.
Influenza. Don’t use antivirals in most otherwise healthy patients. Treatment only reduces flu symptoms by about a day...if started within 48 hours of symptom onset. Advise fluids, rest, antipyretics, etc.
Prescribe 5 days of oseltamivir ASAP for outpatients with confirmed or suspected influenza who are at high risk (pregnant, immunocompromised, etc)...or who have severe illness.
