Depends: Tamiflu is a helpful med that can reduce the intensity of flu if started in the 1st 24-48 hrs of symptom onset. Beyond 72 hrs a start would have little if any value because the virus is already too well established for it to matter. Beyond that, you use comfort/supportive measures & focus on good hydration/rest.
