Don't go to the doctor unless you are high risk or are showing signs of things turning serious (e.g. trouble breathing). If you go to the doctor with a mild case, you're just clogging up the health system and risking exposing others - they won't do anything other than tell you to go home, rest and drink plenty of fluids. They aren't prescribing Tamiflu for most people since they don't want to increase resistance to the drug.
