Good morning
My daughters got sick with influenza A, they got ebilfumin and my husband and I as a preventive measure. Unfortunately, despite taking the medication on the 5th day, I started to feel flu symptoms and fever, in a word, drama. The doctor said on the teleconsultation that the drug was not good for me... Could the group be a side effect of taking the drug if it is supposed to prevent it?

It is difficult to offer a specific diagnosis based on such a short description.
In this case, the risk of contracting the flu from household members is very high. Influenza is transmitted through droplets or contact with contaminated objects. And young children can be a source of infection for several days before and more than 10 days after the onset of symptoms of the disease (the infectivity is greater the higher the fever; it lasts up to 24 hours after the fever has subsided).
Ebilfumin, like any drug, has been tested for safety and efficacy. It may or may not cause side effects, including flu-like symptoms such as fever, headache, cough, sore throat, or runny nose. The majority of these adverse reactions were reported as a single occurrence on the first or second day of treatment and resolved spontaneously within 1-2 days.
You can check the availability of Ebilfumin via the gdziepolek.pl website and make a reservation from the pharmacy of your choice:

If you are concerned about this situation, it is always a good idea to consult a doctor who can give you more personalized advice. If you do not have the opportunity to take advantage of the advice, I am attaching a link to the online teleconsultation:
