Does Azithromycin Cause Burning Sensation On The Tongue?

My son was given Azithromycin 3/4 tsp and he acts like it burns his tongue. He will not swollow it and freaks out so bad as soon as we try to give it to hi. About 2-5 minutes into what little he did swallow he ia throwing it up. We even make him eat really good before
