I mean, if the doc was going to diagnose my wife and kids without any tests or anything, the least he could have done is given us a good script...

1. Did you go yet?

Here's a clinic, but I'd make a quick stop at a drug store and get a mask so you don't spread the virus as much in the waiting room.

(on edit-I posted this In case you don't belong to something like Kaiser, because emergency rooms are expensive.)

2. Good luck on the tamiflu - most are expected to ride it out like any viral respiratory disease
if you can't really treat it - it doesn't matter if it is diagnosed. Rest and plenty of fluids - treatment for virus infections.

3. My bet is you will not get Tamiflu prophylaxis....
It is getting scarce and is not currently indicated if not ill. In many areas you will not get it if you are ill and not in a high risk category. It is just the flu with a special name.

5. Take Cipro in case you have anthrax or bacterial meningitis.
