2. age between 18-65 years old
3. axillary temperature ≥38ºC and with at least two constitutional symptoms (headache, chill, myalgia ，or fatigue) and one respiratory symptom (cough ，sore throat,or coryza) .
4. Illness onset had to be within 36 hours, and informed consent was obtained.
Exclusion criteria:
1. age younger than 18 or older than 65 years old.
2. patients confirmed with bronchitis, pneumonia,pleural effusion and interstitial lung disease by Chest imaging (chest X-ray or CT) .
3. Blood routine screening tests shows numeration of leukocyte 10.0×109/L or Neutrophil percentage ≥80%.
4. Those have got suppurative tonsillitis or cough purulent sputum.
5. Those with underling primary disorders, such as hematological disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease（FEV1/FVC\<70％，FEV1/ predicated value\<50％； or respiratory failure or right heart failure）， hepatic disease（ALT or AST≥triple ULN）, renal disease（Serum Creatinine\>2mg/dL）,chronic congestive heart failure( NYHA Ⅲ-IV)
7. Patient is allergic to the study medication(s). 8. Women who are pregnant or may possibly become pregnant or are lactating with a positive urine pregnant test, obesity (abody mass index (BMI) of 25 kg/m2 or more).

The primary efficacy endpoint:

2. The time to defervescence, defined as the time from the first dose of study medication to the time when the body temperature declined to lower than 37.4ºC and was sustained for at least 24 hours.
Secondary efficacy endpoint:
The secondary end points included: 1) viral shedding duration, defined as the time from the illness onset to the first time the viral nucleic acid test was negative; 2) the severity of the disease,assessed by an area under the curve (AUC) analysis of a total of nine influenza-like symptom scores, the AUC was calculated as the product of the daily symptom scores times the duration of illness;3)frequency of Usage of Acetaminophen;4)and incidence of secondary complications of influenza, such as otitis, bronchitis, pneumonia，Nasosinusitis ,suppurative tonsillitis,acute parotitis，Reye'ssyndrome，central nervous system disease, Myocarditis and pericarditis, acute myositis, and toxic shock syndrome.5) economic evaluation.
Specimen:
the pharyngeal or the throat swab，blood. Pharyngea /throat secretions will be obtained from the upper respiratory tract of each patient.
All specimens will be stored at -80℃ in virus laboratory of the first affiliated hospital of guangzhou medical university for 5 years.
