Hard to say: By waiting to Wednesday to be seen/start Tamiflu it likely was of minimal benefit. If started within 48 hrs it works best. If there were another infection (unspecified) the process may also be flu/viral related & abx of little benefit. You don't list how much fever, which matters. I would be worried if over 102 but not so much with 101 or less. Contact your doc if fever high.
