My daughter and I walked out from the clinic. With a very puzzled look, the six year old asked me, "Mommy, I never mention of tummy ache, why did the doctor gave me tamiflu?".
Hmmm... I found it funny. Now as I'm typing this I'm not sure whether you do too.
Anyway, in that case I'll share our experience with tamiflu. Within hours, many well meaning friends warned me on the... I can't find an apt word for this. Maybe scary? They mentioned that reported side effect include serious hallucination, depression, deliriousness, etc.
I quickly google it. And true, many posts popped up. One lady even described it as five day of being mad. But a few mentioned too that the medicine is very effective.
Hubby and I decided to proceed. We believe that the do won't prescribe it if it's not safe.
So, none of the above encountered, many thanks to Him. But also no significant improvement observed.
Of course, being the wishy washy me, I still think that there might be bacterial infection, on top of the viral one. So it could've been worse without tamiflu.
Kindly note, this post was written with only an experience sharing objective. From a mommy to other mommies.
