Just sent hubbie to get tamiflu, ill since Wednesday. Had seasonal flu jab two weeks ago as work in school. Does it make you ill/ vomit? I've had temperature, bad throat, chills, and really awful head. Actually feel worse today, two days in. Also, does anyone know how long I'll be in bed?

diarrohea & vomiting are the 2 main side-effects

One in 10 have vomiting with swine flu. An additional 1 in 10 will have it with tamiflu. That is, it doubles the risk of vomiting with the virus, but the background risk is only 1 in 10.

Those were the last figures I have seen.
