My gal 8 yo.just detect a influenza,dr prescrb tamiflu. she ws already on zinnat,rhinothiol,loratadine for cough 1month.cn antivirus mix antibiotic?

Yes: The anti-viral Tamiflu is often added to such a treatment plan and should work with the listed meds. However, it has its best effect when it is added within the first 24-48 hrs of inset of a flu related fever. When added beyond that point it is less effective & side effects of a flu like lethargy may limit its benefit.
