[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would mention it but I think the overreaction here is a little over the top. I mean, this time of year, anywhere I take my kid I assume he's been exposed to the flu and I keep my eye on him. I'm assuming that this mom is careful enough to consider the same if she has her baby around all these kids.. my point is, I would do it because it feels like the right thing to do but [b]I don't think there's actually any benefit[/b][/quote] There is definitely benefit. Tamiflu/Oseltamivir can be given as young as 2 weeks older, and the sooner, the better. If the baby develops a fever or other symptoms, he or she should be evaluated right away. Knowing the infant was exposed to flu makes the parent more likely to take in immediately and helps the clinician guide treatment effectively. https://www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/news/20121221/fda-approves-tamiflu-infants[/quote]
