A member asked:

Should i be concerned if my 3 month old has influensa a (swine flu) should he take tamiflu (oseltamivir) at his age?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: Some kids shake this off at this age with no problems while some become very sick. Tamiflu (oseltamivir) dosages down to 2 weeks of age have been derived but a decision on treatment is difficult.The tamiflu (oseltamivir) only helps if started early but can also have some neurologic side effects. A discussion with a physician involved with the kids care should be come to the best plan.
