Can Intake Of Tamiflu Worsen Asthma And Cough-related Issues?
My 12 yr old son has been having problems with his asthma. We are following his yellow zone protocols and he just finished up with an oral steroid for 5 days. He is still coughing a lot and his doctor recommended we up his maintance inhaler yesterday. My daughter was diagnosed with influenza A so he was put on Tamiflu as a precautionary measure. I just gave him the first dose at 7 and it seems like his cough/asthma issues have gotten worse since. Could this be a reaction to the Tamiflu? He has no other symptoms of a run
