What should I do?
So DM has been sick for two weeks. It could be the flu or it could be a cold. It started out with a sore throat, chills and low fever. Then the chills and fever went away and it turned into a bad cough and fatigue and body aches. He had a seasonal flu vaccine a couple weeks before but according to several sources, the only flu here is the swine flu

Here's what their website says...
For flu treatment: When taken within two days of experiencing symptoms, TAMIFLU works by helping to stop the flu virus from spreading inside the body
For flu prevention: When you have been exposed to someone with the flu, taking TAMIFLU can help keep the virus from making you sick
I honestly thought it was only for if you already had symptoms and would shorten how long you were sick. And it has not been approved for over the counter. (sorry used to work at a pharma company for 8 million years!)
I find it hard to believe that swine flu is the ONLY strain going around.
Hmmmm I would probably just hold on to the script. If you are not feeling really bad or just have a sore through it is prob just some random virus.
I am not sure!

I know it isn't for over the counter, I was just wondering why- seems like it should be.
I was just thinking of you because I was looking for this "pashmina" thing I have/had so I could use it on the plane since my flight is at an ungodly hour and I want to sleep. But I don't seem to have it. I think I got rid of it when my parent were pressuring me to "JUST THROW IT OUT" about all my stuff...>:(
It's probably AT THE DUMP!
