Suggest An Alternative Of Azithral For Throat Pain
i have been prescribed Azithral 250 mg and have been taking the medication for throat pain. the pain subsides for sometime but resurfaces. It does happen though that even after i gargle with Betadine i still experience a pain. it has been 4 doses of Azithral now (total 1000mg) but the pain still exists. Please tell me what to do, I am 36 years old, 72 kgs and stand around 175 cms tall and often prone to ENT problems. Please advise if i should change my medicine.

Hello
You may be resistant to azithral and i would like you to change your antibiotic to tab levofloxacin 500 mg once a day for 5 days . Please continue to gargle , it will help.
Thanks
