What can I do to relieve my sudden severe sore throat, painful swallowing, blocked nose, headache, and ear pain that are keeping me awake, and will Azee 500 help?
Azee 500 contains azithromycin, which is an antibiotic. It will only help if your infection is bacterial, and won't work for viral infections like a cold or flu. Taking antibiotics unnecessarily should be avoided. For immediate relief, try warm saltwater gargles, stay well-hydrated, and use saline nasal drops. Over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol can help ease your throat, headache, and ear pain to help you rest. Please see a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis before starting any antibiotics.
