A member asked:

Ok have influenza b some docs saying to give my 5 year old tamiflu (oseltamivir) unless she has symptoms some say do to protect her what to do confused?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tamiflu (oseltamivir): tamiflu (oseltamivir) is effective not by treating influenza but more by shortening the duration of the illness from 7 days to maybe 5 days and by making the illness less severe. The catch T is that costs are not covered by insurance and can cost $125 to $300 per course of treatment. If you got the dough you could try it. You may also want to treat siblings and family before they get sick. IHIW
