Hi
Azithromycin can cause diarrhoea and it can be severe in many patients.
Azithromycin should be stopped and alternative antibiotic should be taken based on the diagnosis of the patient. Diarrhoea will subside.
Adequate hydration is required.Oral rehydration solution can be used to avoid fatigue and dehydration.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
