A throat infection may not improve immediately even after taking azithromycin because recovery can take several days. Sometimes the infection may be viral or caused by another condition that does not respond well to this medicine. Warm fluids, rest, and salt water gargles may help relieve throat irritation. Consult a doctor if the symptoms continue or become worse.
