Tamiflu not recomanded for ordinary flu. it is specificaly ment for bird flu. however you should give your problem in right prospective. idonot understand why they should recomend steroid, which is contraindicated in viral infection. in my opinion you shou;d go for second opinionfor clinical examination and streamlining treatment. in my opinion for simple flu notreatment is requered. it is self limiting and hydration to be mantained with vit c and antihistaminic. if requered tab crocin can be taken. this is my opinion and consult local doctor and take medicine accordingly.
