Panaflu is an antiviral medication used to treat and prevent influenza, particularly in cases resistant to other treatments. Its active ingredient is oseltamivir, which works by inhibiting the replication of the influenza virus. Panaflu is often prescribed during flu outbreaks to reduce the duration and severity of symptoms. It's important to start the medication soon after symptoms appear for optimal effectiveness.

How long is bronchiolitis contagious?

The incubation period of the common cold is typically 36 to 48 hours, but, in some cases, symptoms can arise within 12 hours, or slightly less, of catching the virus. From the time a cold virus enters the nose, it takes 8-12 hours for the viral reproductive cycle to be completed and for new cold virions to be shed (released) in nasal secretions. This time period is called the "incubation period". However, the incubation period differs depending on the specific common cold virus involved and the individual infected. There are over 200 viruses responsible for the common cold. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the incubation periods for a few of the most common causative viruses involved with the common cold are: Rhinovirus: 2-7 days. Coronaviruses: 2-10 days. Adenoviruses: 2-14 days. Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV): 2-8 days Cold symptoms can also begin shortly after new virus particles are first produced in the nose (10-12 hours). The time from the beginning of the infection to the peak of symptoms is typically 36-72 hours. Adults can be infectious beginning a day or two before feeling any symptoms. Some people never develop symptoms even if infected allowing for more unknowing spread of the disease. The most contagious period is typically on the third day following initiation of symptoms.
