How can i prevent my toddler from getting the flu when the rest of the house has been diagnosed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tamiflu (oseltamivir): The prescription Tamiflu (oseltamivir) is available through your kids physician & is commonly used as a preventative down to 1 year olds. Few other methods are helpful, the flu is contagious from the day before first symptoms, so containing it in a household is quite difficult.
