Is it wise to give tamiful to a child 'just in case'?

Okay, friend's DS had swine flu symptoms on Monday and Dr prescribed tamiflu as they have a very young baby. He then woke up on Tuesday feeling fine so they put him into nursery and life is carrying on as normal but are still giving him the tamiflu. Is this wise if they genuinely now think that he didn't have it or is it a sensible precaution?

I was thinking similar to Turtle Ann, it is very important to take the whole course of antibiotics to stop ab resistant bacteria developing is it the same with anti virals?
