Azithromycin 250 MG

Answered by Dr. Prasanna Heijebu (10 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Get an X-ray chest.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.

I apologize for the delayed response.

You possibly seem to have acute severe bronchitis.

This may cause excessive sweating as a part of an adaptive response to the chest infection.

I advise you to get an X-ray chest to rule out parenchymal lung involvement.

Continue Azithromycin as prescribed.

Update with the chest x-ray report.

Post your further queries if any,
Thank you
