Medical student here, I get that a lot it’s called interference at least in the supermemo sphere.
My personnal solution to this is to add more cards. For example “is friendA born before or after friendB?”, “what are the birthday of friendA and friendB?”.
The latter question is a crucial example actually. It makes you practice the recall of the distinction between the interference instead of the raw recall of each datum.
Also, as other suggested here, mnemonics help a ton: for example is there an intuitive reason you can link to friendB having an odd birthday and friendA having an even birthday? If so, add a third anki card to never forget the mnemonics.

One insight I had over the years on anki is that because of the algorithm, having more cards is not penalizing.
Also I created AnnA—Anki Neuronal Appendix to help spread reviews with semantic similarity if that helps.
