Question
I have a respiratory inflammation due to catching a cold, with coughing and a sore throat during coughing, as well as nasal congestion. Previous treatment and effectiveness: I’ve taken three days of Azithromycin suspension (two tablets each time), but there has been no improvement. Desired assistance: The instruction manual seems to indicate that Azithromycin suspension should only be taken for three days (total dose 1.5g). What should I do now?
Answer
Azithromycin suspension is primarily used to treat upper respiratory tract infections such as otitis media, sinusitis, pharyngitis, and tonsillitis; as well as lower respiratory tract infections like bronchitis and pneumonia. It is also used for skin and soft tissue infections, and for simple genital chlamydia infections caused by Chlamydia trachomatis, and for simple genital infections caused by non-dual-resistant gonococci (excluding those with Mycoplasma spp. mixed infections). If symptoms have not improved after three days of taking the medication, it is recommended to consult a doctor to determine the next course of treatment.
