Unlikely to matter: Tamiflu (oseltamivir) is a rather benign medication that does have some potential side effects (nausea, dizziness, sedation, etc.)during use.However, it can be taken by those who tolerate it & not produce any long term issues. It likely did nothing to influence the roseola virus at all. It's not like an antibiotic (it is not) and doesn't produce antibiotic resistance.
