Not a toddler situation but my husband was swabbed and tamiflu started Monday night ... Fever at the time was 102.6. 8 am Tuesday am was the last time he had a temp. Tamiflu is the bomb.
17 yo son started with fever/aches/headache Wednesday night but started Tamiflu on Thursday am ... By noon on Friday he was much much better.
I totally credit Tamiflu no matter what any study said. And yes they were both positive swabs. shite works.

I wasn't saying it wasn't safe in grown human beings.
For an infant or toddler? Or even a kid? I will absolutely never give it to my child or future children again. They can do it on their own when they're of age to make those decisions. But I also have an organic nanny who is against most medicine/antibiotics for kids, so I get an earfull. I take about 50% in because a lot of what she says is truth. Our pediatrician is also not a fan of tamiflu for infants or children. But I begged her for it because my baby had the flu twice within a month and I was at my wit's end for both he and I. Not a good situation to be in with an 8 month old. Needless to say, he got the flu shot (totally against the will of my anti-vaccination nanny) the first week it was offered this year. He ought to have a badass immune system at this point, however.
