Antibiotic induced,pl add a probiotic and if fever does not settle a hemogram is warranted

It may simply due to azithromycin.
As soon as you stop the medicine it will pass off

Fever needs to worked up a little more rigorously
Get a complete blood count

Diarrhea can be drug induced or due to antibiotics
But even enteric fever , dengue and any other viral illness can be associated with drug induced diarrhea

Complete blood count was done by the patient , which ruled out viral fever and other vitals clear.

Yeah patient has developed Pseudomembranous colitis due to the antibiotics (Which were not needed since the infection was Viral). Treat with Metronidazole

Your patient most probably developed C. Diff infection. Your next step should be to stop the offending drug which is azithromycin in your case. Then start metronidazole. I am attaching a file to help you better guide the treatment in this regard.
Hope this helps.

There are many drugs in homeopathic system of medicine for counter effect of antibiotics. According to your patient's symptoms, it seems to be side effect of antibiotics. Why don't you suggest homeopathy for solve above problem.
HOMOEO MEDICINES INCLUDE NUX.VOM, Cortisonum.
THE SAME ANTIBIOTIC DRUG PREPARED AS HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINE BY HOMEOPATHIC PROCEDURE.(tautopathically).

Stomach pain and diarrhea is the side effects of azithromycin drug.
Stoppage of azithromycin will resolve diarrhea by its own
