Hello doctor,

For a throat infection, I took Azax 500 for three days, one tablet a day. Although there is an improvement, there is still a throat pain. Should I repeat the dose?

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have seen the pictures (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

  • You still have pharyngitis. You should continue with the antibiotic (Azithromycin) for another three days. Also, use hexedine gargles.
  • Take a combination Diclofenac and Serratiopeptidase twice daily and tablet Vitamin C once daily.

The above medicines will be available on prescription only. Take care.

Thank you doctor,

You have suggested that I continue with Azax 500 for another three days, besides taking the medicines suggested by you. Have I understood it right? Please confirm.
