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).
