Brief Answer:
Burning in the bladder can be due to UTI.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Burning sensation in the bladder that you are getting after taking Tamiflu is not due to side effect of Tamiflu.

It could be mostly due to UTI.

Get your routine urine test and urine culture has done to find out the organisms causing this infection and their antibiotics sensitivity pattern.

In the meantime start taking antibiotics like Cefixime and Nitrofurantoin along with urine alkalizer, later on, switch on to appropriate antibiotics as per culture report.

Ensure to drink more water to keep your urine dilute.

This should help you to stop burning in the bladder.

Hope I have answered your query.
