1. Tamiflu strain means you are diagnosed with Influenza virus types. 1 & 2 [swine flu]
2. look out for other symptoms like: sudden confusion, shaking, problems with speech, hallucinations or convulsions.
3. It can lead to more serious complications, including pneumonia and respiratory failure, shortness of breath, severe vomiting, abdominal pain, dizziness, or confusion.
4. If you have an immuno-compromised state [like diabetes, on steroids therapy ] then immune system takes longer to recover otherwise with good medical treatment and observation, body's natural defense gets better early.
