What Causes Rashes On The Legs After Taking Tamiflu?

I have had the flu for over a week and taken the Tamiflu. I now have a strange rash on my legs. It looks like someone drew little red dots on my feet ankles and calves. My spouse, got sick with flu 2 days before me and has the same symptoms but did not take Tamiflu. Any ideas?

Hello,

The rashes if appeared only after medicine intake, can be considered side effect of drug ; if before drug intake already existing , then have to be part of systemic viral infection.

Hope I have answered your query.
