Treatments for influenza include a range of medications and therapies that are used in response to disease influenza. Treatments may either directly target the influenza virus itself; or instead they may just offer relief to symptoms of the disease, while the body's own immune system works to recover from infection.

Therefore, HA is responsible for binding influenza viruses to sialic acid on the surface of target cells, such as cells in the upper respiratory tract or erythrocytes, [3] resulting in the internalization of the virus. [4] Additionally, HA is responsible for the fusion of the viral envelope with the late endosomal membrane once exposed to low ...
Future flu pandemics, which may be caused by an influenza virus of avian origin, [35] are viewed as almost inevitable, and increased globalization has made it easier for a pandemic virus to spread, [34] so there are continual efforts to prepare for future pandemics [76] and improve the prevention and treatment of influenza.

The flu can cause a fever, which can increase the odds of sweating. Replacing those fluids is important to keep your body functioning as best as possible while you’re sick, Dr. Russo says.
Viral neuraminidase cleaves terminal sialic acid residues from glycan structures on the surface of the infected cell. This promotes the release of progeny viruses and the spread of the virus from the host cell to uninfected surrounding cells. Neuraminidase also cleaves sialic acid residues from viral proteins, preventing aggregation of viruses.
Anabolism (/ ə ˈ n æ b ə l ɪ z ə m /) is the set of metabolic pathways that construct macromolecules like DNA or RNA from smaller units. [1] [2] These reactions require energy, known also as an endergonic process. [3] Anabolism is the building-up aspect of metabolism, whereas catabolism is the breaking-down aspect. Anabolism is usually ...

Elderberry may help with disease prevention “Elderberry does contain antioxidants that can, in general, reduce the free radicals and oxidative stress that lead to chronic disease,” Ingram says.
