My sister had swine flu & they didn't give her the tamiflu coz the gp she saw really believed there was no point to it. Since it is a viral thing, I'm thinking he's right, but I'm not a doctor.
She had it really bad with high fevers for a week, then was over it. I think mum & I had it too, but different. Like we were getting the flu, but it just never hit. Lasted with a cough for about 6 weeks. But we weren't real sick iykwim. I honestly thought at the time I'd have taken the sick for a week & thats it, over the almost, not quite sick, but still feeling like crap, for 6 weeks!
