You're what we call an "at risk" person, so I would take tamiflu for the next few days as a preventative.
Here's a study if you're a healthcare provider (Meta-analysis) indicating its efficacy in prevention of influenza symptoms in "at risk" households:
Okoli, George N.; Otete, Harmony E.; Beck, Charles R.; Nguyen-Van-Tam, Jonathan S.; Schmidt, Robert Lane (9 December 2014). "Use of Neuraminidase Inhibitors for Rapid Containment of Influenza: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Individual and Household Transmission Studies". PLoS ONE 9 (12): e113633.
