Should I consult for influenza because of my heart condition?

Question

Hello, I am cardiac (operated tetralogy of falot) and I have with certainty the influenza: shiver, cough to the nova of the thorax with secretions, nasal discharge, muscular pain and persistent fever since 3 days (is resorbed with Tylenol but starts again all the time).

Hello, I recommend that you consult a pharmacy because your pharmacist can now prescribe a medication to reduce the risk of complications from influenza (Tamiflu). The initial consultation should ideally be done over the phone to minimize contact with other people while you have symptoms. I would also suggest that you have a COVID test as a precaution. I hope I have helped you today!
