if you were properly diagnosed with influenza (tamiflu will not help any other viral infection) know that this drug does not "cure" the flu or treat specific symptoms. it briefly shortens the course of the flu and alleviates the severity. immediate or dramatic improvemenst in flu-symptoms are usually not seen. if you are still having a sore throat on day two of the flu then you can treat this symptom separately: gargling with warm salt water taking ibuprofen for the pain/inflammation and drinking lots of fluids. throat lozenges can also help.
i am taking tamiflu for the flu but why is my throat still hurting after being on meds for 2 days?
