Hi,I am Dr. Andrew Rynne (Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I m 64 and had what I believe was the flu for one week with coughing and high fever. After taking tamiflu I felt better but for the last two weeks I develop a low grade fever upon movement and in the evening. Is it flu leftover or do I have something else wrong with me?
