Azithral (Azithromycin) is an antibiotic. It can be given to infant above 6 months at prescribed dosage. I would recommend Azithral to my patients only if there are symptoms of bacterial infections like sore throat with sputum production.
I would recommend you to start antibiotics only under paediatrician's guidance and complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed. Hope the above information helps you. Thank you for writing into healthcaremagic. Have a wonderful day.
