Suggest Medication For Flu

2 of my children along with myself have some form form of the flu. Fever, body aches and cold symptoms and cough. We are in Mexico and will fly home to the states tomorrow. We went to a Mexican doctor and were prescribed some meds. My children are 3 and 6 years old. I would like to know how effective these drugs are and the side effects. I would like to make sure it is safe to give them to my children. The meds are pipazetato, celestamine NS ( which contains loratadina and betamethasone) and anti flu-DES ( which contains amantadine, clorfenamina and paracetamol)
