I've sweat pouring out of me,coughing,congested,blocked nose & I'm!
Question: I've sweat pouring out of me,coughing,congested,blocked nose & I'm asthmatic - should I get tamiflu asap?
Or am I overreacting? I've been like this for a few days now. Due to see my doc Monday but may need to see a doc sooner (which I can do) When I wake in the mornings and cold air hits my throat I kinda go into spasm and can barely breathe, calms down after a while though. Lots of phelgm throughout the day. A few weeks ago my doc said my white blood cell count was high - probably fighting some infection or whatever but I wasn't prescribed anything simply had more bloods taken for more tests.
Taking my asthma meds as usual (ventolin, symbicort, singulair) also got OTC counter stuff for throat, nose and hot lemon paracetamol drinks. Heard that the WHO have said that people in at risk groups (inc. asthmatics) should take Tamiflu or Relenza asap when signs of flu emerge? I've already had the latest H1N1 vacinne a few weeks ago. Thanks.

If you had the vaccine already, I would think that it isn't flu. Was it the combo vaccine (regular flu and H1N1) or just H1N1? either way, get to the doctors. If it is flu or H1N I would get Tamiflu. I had H1N1 a year or so ago and got the Ztamiflu. It worked wonders.

noooooo
I'd say get to the ER first.
