I Go the Flu and Took Tamiflu. Its Effectiveness Was...Meh

I got sick with the flu last week - sore throat, cough, nasal congestion, 102-degree fever. I tested negative for COVID, so called the advice nurse and requested a Tamiflu prescription, since it's supposed to work best if you start it within 48 hours of getting sick. I got the prescription and took it right away, but despite lowering my fever, it didn't seem very effective. A week later, I'm feeling better, but I still have the cough and nasal issues and wouldn't say I'm back to normal yet.

I was hoping it would work better, like Paxlovid does for COVID. 24 hours after starting Paxlovid, I felt 100% better.

Anyone else try Tamiflu? Any success?

Did you test positive for flu?

You didn't get a flu shot? Tsk, tsk.

R1 Yes, I tested positive for flu.

R2 Yes, I got a flu shot. However, there were new strains of flu this year that are resistant to the current vaccine.

Are you sure you didn't just inhale some bad sperms and got the clap in your alveoli?
