[quote=Anonymous]Just to chime in with my family's recent experience in case it's helpful to anyone.  We are out of town right now.  My 12yo dd tested pos for flu at urgent care yesterday.  It was within the first 48 hours, and the doc there put her on Tamiflu (she had been horribly nauseated with the flu, vomited for 24 hours, no eating, couldn't keep down any liquids) and Zofran.   She is MUCH better sfter 24 hours.

The urgent care doc suggested we should all go on prophylactic tamiflu and prescribed it for me (I was the only one he prescribed it for bc I was there in person with her and they were closing for new year's eve). I'm taking it and feeling slightly gross but okay.  I guess it could be a side effect or flu or something else.

I called our pediatricians in Falls Church today and they said that as a matter of policy they would not prescribe prophylactic tamiflu for my other kids (a tween and a teen).  My DH called his internist in DC and was prescribed prophylactic tamiflu.  [/quote]
