How to prevent infant from influenza virus ?

Yes, how can I prevent my infant from influenza virus meanwhile she also has allergy problem. From her nose and throat we can hear like people who have cold or flu voices. She is almost 5 months old. I have visited doctor many times and got some medicine from doctor, but it doesn't work. My baby still in cold and flu condition. please help.

The best way to help prevent influenza infection is to get an influenza vaccination each year, usually in early November. Unfortunately, immunization (administration of vaccine) against influenza is approved only for infants 6 months of age and over.

Until your infant is old enough to take vaccinations, you should look into home remedies and try to look for baby food with some of these ingrediants. I looked up some for you:

~ GINGER = best
~ GRAPEFRUIT
~ BASIL LEAVES
~ GARLIC = dont know if thats good for infant but works.

hope i was helpful :)

What is happening is that your baby does not have influenza. What it has most likely is just a regular common cold caused by adenovirus or a rhinovirus. No medicine will cure you of this. ITs just time.

Babies are obligate nasal breathers, and when they get a cold, and get stuffy, they have a bit more trouble, and make it seem worse than it is. Suction that nose often, and you can use saline drops to help lossen some of the snot.

To prevent the flu from the influenza virus - keep your baby away from sick people, wash your hands prior to touching the baby, and keep breast feeding.
