My 11 month 3 week old and Tamiflu?

My little one is too young to take Tamiflu, by about 6 days. She is so pitiful right now, with fever, severe congestion, cough, stuffy runny nose... The whole nine. Poor thing. I didn't see anything that mentioned why Tamiflu isn't appropriate for children under 1 year of age. Anybody have any ideas?

Meanwhile we are doing lots of steamy shower time, suctioning her nose and using saline drops and using Tyelnol to keep her fever down.

ALL THREE OF MY CHILDREN HAVE THE Influenza Type A, the worst kind!

Any knowledge about Tamiflu would be great!

thanks

    they gave my baby 2 medications (xopenex and pulmicort ) to use with a nubilizer. he gave it to her cause she had alot of cough and congestion. ibuprofen works best for my baby when she has a fever. some of the over the counter meds are not measured by her body weight and age so its a gamble you either give to much or too little. use a mister or humidifier at night. wash sheets pillowcases often.
