Dr. Deepal Perera from the Lady Ridgeway Children’s Hospital in Colombo said yesterday (27) that there is a risk of the influenza virus spreading with the current rainy weather. He said that a number of patients infected with influenza A and B virus are reported these days and among them, the number of children infected with influenza A is increasing.

He said that if there are symptoms like cough, cold, headache, sore throat, etc. along with fever, it could be influenza and if any child has such symptoms, they should not be sent to school or Montessori.

Dr. Perera said that the influenza virus spreads during cold weather and it is important to use face masks to prevent the spread of the virus.

He stated that since influenza is a virus, there are no antibiotics to cure it and paracetamol should be taken to lower the fever. Patients should drink water and natural fluids and take adequate rest.
