A member asked:
Daughter dx flu b started tamiflu late tues night, last dose tomorrow, still has fever, leg pains, and a cough at night. what should we do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Call in for guidance: Tamiflu works best if taken within hours of the first symptoms. It doesn't kill the germs but can slow them down until they die. The leg (calf) pains are common & persistent. Persistent fever & cough may indicate a bit of pneumonia coming on. I'd call for guidance by the doc on call.
