So, do you have to take antiviral drugs if you have influenza A? Is influenza A just a common cold, and the treatment method is the same?

In this issue of Health Truth, we invite Li Yong, chief physician of the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine at Suzhou Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University, to explain to you.

The "Health Truth" column was jointly created by Science Rumor Debunking and the People's Daily Health Client. The column focuses on common disease misunderstandings, rumors, and gossip, and invites doctors from public tertiary hospitals to analyze health truths and help disease education.

At present, the People's Daily Health Client has built a knowledge base of more than 1,400 diseases. Through multimedia forms such as text, video, live broadcast, question and answer, it provides users with authoritative, scientific, and easy-to-understand popular science knowledge on disease prevention and treatment, and provides an authoritative query platform for medical popular science knowledge. At the same time, within the disease check, one can switch to asking doctors and hospitals for recommendations with one click, quickly access the patient's diagnosis and treatment process, and provide full disease process services.

Scientific Rumor Refutation is a rumor-refuting platform hosted by the China Association for Science and Technology, the National Health Commission, the Ministry of Emergency Management, the State Administration for Market Regulation and other ministries and commissions, guided by the Cyberspace Administration of China, and jointly created by national academic societies, authoritative media, social organizations and scientific and technological workers.
