Feminism is a multi-disciplinary approach to sex and gender equality understood through social theories and political activism. Historically, feminism has evolved from the critical examination of inequality between the sexes to a more nuanced focus on the social and performative constructions of gender and sexuality.
Antiviral medication doesnât work against most pneumonias, but it may be helpful if flu or herpes viruses cause your pneumonia. Your doctor may prescribe them if your condition is diagnosed early. Itâs important to understand that antibiotics will not treat viral pneumonia, because a virus, not bacteria, causes it.
While getting a flu vaccine each year is the best way to protect you from the flu, antiviral drugs can be used as a second line of defense to treat the flu or to prevent flu infection. For treatment, antiviral drugs work best if started soon after getting sick (within 2 days of symptoms). When used this way, these drugs can reduce the severity of flu symptoms and shorten the time you are sick by 1 or 2 days. They also may prevent serious flu complications.
