Your persistent throat pain after completing a 5-day course of Azithral 500 (azithromycin) suggests that the infection may not be fully resolved or could be due to another cause.

🩺 What This Likely Means

• The antibiotic may not have fully cleared the infection, or the cause might be viral, which azithromycin does not treat.
• Sometimes tonsillitis can be caused by viruses or resistant bacteria, requiring further evaluation.

🩺 Recommended Next Steps

• See an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) specialist for a thorough examination and possible throat swab culture to identify the exact cause.
• Avoid self-medicating with additional antibiotics without medical advice.
• Use supportive care like warm saline gargles, adequate hydration, and pain relievers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen as advised by your doctor.

⚠️ When to Seek Urgent Care

• If you develop difficulty breathing, swallowing, high fever, or swelling in the neck, seek immediate medical attention.
