What Is The Treatment For Throat Pain , Congestion And Chest Pain?

hi i went to doctor on monday for throat pain and congestion and was prescribed azithromycin. I took it Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Friday I began diarrea. Continued Saturday, Sunday, and today. It hasn't been constant until today it started to be watery and more frequent. I started having chest pain about an hour ago and i am a little lightheaded.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from common cold which is generally Viral Infection..
The antibiotic Azithromycin that was given to you that you are taking from one week is causing the watery stools and other symptoms like lightheartedness and chest pain..
As it is already one week you can now stop taking antibiotics and if still congestion and sore throat is persistent you can take decongestant like Pseudoephadrine,mucolytics like Bromohexine, do warm saline gargles and steam inhalation..
Along with it to stop loose motions you can take Furozolidone (lomofen).
Take Oral dehydration solution to recover for electrolyte and water loss due to watery stools..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
