Flu: #1 is confirm diagnosis was accurate for Influenza. #2 is make sure you are on all the right stuff to treat the symptoms as that is more important for you then actually taking Tamiflu (oseltamivir) if that is indeed what you took

Realize: Medications to treat seasonal influenza aren't perfect. In fact, for something like Tamiflu, (oseltamivir) it only led to a quicker alleviation of influenza-like symptoms of just half a day in adults. Also, some influenza viruses have developed resistance to the medications(not that common). Probably the most important ? should focus around complications like pneumonia/bronchitis, sinusitis or ear infections
