The skinny on Tamiflu is not good. If it works at all, it mildly shortens flu by a day or so. It is highly controversial now.
That is why it is on TV commercials so heavily right now to counter the bad press.

Rest, and take adequate fluids, keep track of any fever, and if fever goes up or returns, see a doctor ASAP.
