Just wondering what people are being prescribed by Dr.'s and what they are doing to get through it. Dell [Reply]   [No Email]

You are contageous 10 days after your fever goes away, I am always tired, today i tried to take the tractor to get gas to get something done, got back and was absolutly exhausted, Sleeping is a pain becuase you nose runs so much, and the cough is so violent that it wakes me up terrible, been down all week and its spelt tamiflu, sorry about that Hope all is well- Pat This post was edited by Pat-CT at 17:10:48 11/07/09.   [Reply]   [No Email]

It contains a lot of caffine, and caffine is a diuretic, which makes your body lose fluids, not hydrate you. Juices, Gatoraide and/or water are the best things you can drink while fighting an illness.   [Reply]   [No Email]

All you can do is treat the symptoms with cold meds and do drink LOTS of fluids. Take motrin or tylenol for the temp and aches. I drank Mtn Dew. All I could keep down for 3 days. If you have trouble breathing go to the DR asap.   [Reply]   [No Email]

There are no drugs available to fight a virus. Antibiotics are no help. Just take motrin to help control the fever and let it run it's course.   [Reply]   [Send Email]

Here is a link to some information. There is also a website by the manufacturer at http://www.tamiflu.com/ Wikipedia article on Tamiflu   [Reply]   [Send Email]
