Abstract

Influenza is a disease that attacks the respiratory tract caused by various types of influenza viruses and can be transmitted through the air. Transmission can occur easily through droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Treatment of influenza is symptomatic and supportive. Symptomatic treatment in the early stages may be self-administered and may require medication if symptoms persist. In addition to treatment under medical review, there is also treatment under Sharia review. There are several actions that Thibbun Nabawi can take.
