HI.
Zithromax works as an antibiotics.
Your present problem of hives and fever may be due to an allergy. For this you have to take antihistamines in consultation with a Doctor. He will also see the throat for remaining infection and if present will prescribe a proper antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines .
Avoid exposure to such an atmosphere that increase the hives.
