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.

Influenza usually lasts 7 - 10 days, but each individual will have different recovery times based upon their health at the time of the infection. In some cases all symptoms will be gone within that time frame, however the cough can last up to 2 weeks.
