Suggest Treatment For Body Pain While Suffering From Flu

I was diagnosed with the flu yesterday. Started Tamiflu. I also have had pain in between shoulder blades, yesterday pain in the upper left side of my abdomen, under breast area, that radiates into back. Comes in waves. I figured it’s all due to inflammation but am getting worried now.... was wondering if I should go back to doctor. Is this all part of the flu or is it unrelated?

Probably it is cause by the flu or as a side effect of the Tamiflu.
Try to assume some antiinflammatory drug, such as ibuprofene: if it makes you feel better, your pain is due to the flu. Otherwise, if you don't have any improvement from the antiinflammatory drug, you should do back to the doctor.
