Pulmonary System Drugs

Question 15 • VA_Pharmacology_A

A patient with a cough and fever goes to the doctor and is diagnosed with the influenza virus. What drugs might the doctor prescribe? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
antibiotics for the infection
B
antitussives for the cough
C
anti-inflammatories for the fever
D
bronchodilators for breathing
E
a vaccine for symptom prevention

Explanation

Influenza is caused by a virus, so antibiotics do not treat the infection. A doctor might prescribe an antitussive to ease the cough and an anti-inflammatory medicine to reduce fever. Bronchodilators are used for certain breathing problems, and a vaccine helps prevent future influenza rather than treat current symptoms.
