I have throat pain and was diagnosed with a throat infection by a doctor. The doctor prescribed azithromycin. I had been drinking cold water and consuming cold foods for a few days before the pain started. Is this medicine appropriate, or should I take any other treatment?
Azithromycin is commonly prescribed for bacterial throat infections, so you should take it as advised by your doctor and complete the full course. You can also get relief by drinking warm fluids, doing warm saltwater gargles, and avoiding cold drinks or foods for a few days. If the pain does not improve within a few days, follow up with your doctor.
