Are Numb Hands, Face And Head Common Symptoms During Flu?

Doctor said I have the flu, I have been taking Tamiflu for 2 1/2 days, but my hands, feet and face and head all have a numb sensation, I can't taste anything either. Should i go to the hospital? or are these normal symptoms of the flu, the numbness was present prior to taking medication.

Hi,

No, numbness you are feeling is not a symptom of flu. I advise to go to hospital for immediate evaluations.

Wish fast recovery!
