Regarding Antiflu
Doctor suggested Antiflu medicine since my baby had fever. We haven't done flu test as she said it is not mandatory. Is it ok to start Antiflu medicine even when there is no flu? Baby has got fever again at yesterday night. Is it good to give both paracetamol and Antiflu medicine?

Now Influenza B is in its peak in jaipur, rajasthan, delhi gurgaon also. So now it's in practice that empirically we are prescribing SYP antiflu. So you can give. At least anti viral cover you can give with anti pyretics. May be you can go for viral respiratory panel like in covid we did.
