I had H1N1 influenza almost 4 weeks ago. Took Tamiflu until I developed a rash and was told to discontinue it after 5 of the 10 doses. Felt pretty good but somewhat tired since then. After about two weeks the headache and sore throat got better and I was normal about a week. Two days ago I started with a dry cough and although my throat is less sore it is very scratchy. The cough concerns me. I am a 64 year old female in otherwise good health
Hello and thanks for your question. It is concerning that you developed a cough after having influenza. I think that you should see your doctor right away. One complication of influenza is pneumonia. This can be serious and needs to be considered in anyone developing a cough after they have had the flu. If you have fevers and shortness of breath, I would consider going to emergency for evaluation. If it is just a Chat Doctor.
