Antiviral medications such as Tamiflu and Relenza can shorten the number of days of flu symptoms by 24 to 36 hours if taken soon after symptoms appear. However, most experts do not recommend antiviral medications for otherwise healthy people who become infected with ordinary seasonal flu since most recover with little or no intervention. The CDC currently recommends treatment with antiviral medications if swine flu is likely in a person with known flu.
