Hello,

Itching as a side-effect has not been observed yet in population after consuming Tamiflu.

Have you consulted a dermatologist?

As per your description it seems the problem is related to skin. Please consult dermatologist. Till then, take tablet Levocetirizine 12 hourly for itching.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
