Trying Xofluza for the first tme

We have influenza in the house, for the first time in years. No surprise really, because its been going around for weeks and it seems to be a particularly virulent strain. It was bound to happen eventually, now that my children have once again gotten used to life without masks. And my child that has it, the youngest of my four, has only had the flu once, maybe twice, before. Unlike her older sisters and brothers who had it several times, I doubt she has much immunity to it.

She is nine years old and it is influenza A that she has. I can't remember which they say its worse, A or B. I am not googling it, because I don't want to turn up information that will make me worry. What I can tell you is that, thankfully, today she is not bad with it and I think today is day two. She was pretty bad yesterday, not worryingly bad, but she did spend most of the day lying down, drifting in and out of sleep. 

We can't know for certain if yesterday was day one of the infection or not, but it was the first day she had a temperature, that I know of. Although, going to bed Sunday night I thought she did feel a bit hot, but she said she was feeling fine and her eyes looked healthy, for want of a better word. I can usually tell when my kids are sick from their eyes. Yesterday, her temperature was 39.6 degrees when she woke up. So it was straight to the Doctors for her. The Doctor we went to, much to my surprise, won't actually test for Covid. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I do wonder why. He did a test for both strains of flu and confirmed it is Influenza A she has.

Xofluza

The Doctor prescribed her Xofluza, which I had to look up on the Internet as I had never heard of it before. I was just glad it wasn't Tamiflu, because my son reacted badly to that in the past and I wasn't looking forward to the quandary of whether to give it to her or not. Also, in the past I didn't think it was particularly effective. But this Xofluza seems really good. I had no qualms about giving it to her, because my close friend's son took it last week and she said he was well after just 24 hours. This too has been my experience. My daughter is much better today and that's just with one dose.

I really don't know enough about Xofluza and, so far, have only had one experience with it, so please don't base any important medical decisions on this post alone. There seems to be plenty of information online about the drug, so I would advise taking a look around the net for more information and reviews. However, from my limited experience, it would seem that Xofluza does what its supposed to; suppress replication of the flu virus.

Have you heard anything about it? Have you tried it? Thoughts?
