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.
