influenza is contagious a day before you know you have it and about two days later (estimate). tamiful is given for five days and must be given in the first two days of an influenza infection so you are about a week into this illness at least. that is assuming you were accurately diagnosed. i do not believe that you would be contagious at this point. besides your one-year old grandson should have been immunized for influenza. it is offered at age six months.
am i contagious after completing tamiflu? . i was diagnosed with the flu last friday (no swab) at doctor's visit and feel much better today. i only have an infrequent cough that sounds bad and is a little painful. my teenage sons live at home and one was vaccinated last friday so that he can travel with me to visit my one year old grandson. i do not want to take any chance of infecting him but if i can be assured that i am no longer contagious i would love to make this important trip. please advise. thank you.
