No, not really. Tamiflu is an antiviral medicine that is given to help reduce the duration and lessen the severity of symptoms in influenza and other viral infections. It is not made to be a good cough medicine although it will eventually help you get over the flu and stop coughing. A good medicine for a cough from the flu is called guaifenesin, you will find it in Over The Counter cough medicines like Robitussin (and its generic equivalents). It is also the active ingredient in Mucinex which will also help control cough from influenza.

Will Tamiflu prevent influenza B?
No, Tamiflu is not very good at preventing the flu, although it can be used that way if started soon enough after symptoms begin. The better way to prevent the flu is with a vaccination. Tamiflu is intended for use to treat the flu and if given within the first 48 hours of infection it can speed the recovery and lessen the severity of the symptoms.
