A member asked:
7 year old flu symptoms since monday night. started tamiflu (oseltamivir) tuesday night. no fever since wednesday afternoon. all symptoms gone. still contagious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Influenza: Usually a person is contagious for a day before illness starts and contagiousness lasts for 5-7 days after the illness begins. Studies have shown that if Tamiflu (oseltamivir) is started within 48 hours of illness it decreases shedding of the virus by 1 day.
