I have white patches and red sores in my throat. My fever has gone, but the patches are still causing discomfort. Can I take Azee (Azithromycin) for this, or what medicine do you suggest?

Please do not self-medicate with azithromycin. White patches and red sores in your throat can be caused by viral infections, fungal infections (like oral thrush), or bacterial infections. Antibiotics only treat bacterial infections; taking them unnecessarily will not help and can sometimes worsen fungal issues. I highly recommend consulting a healthcare professional for a proper throat examination to determine the exact cause. For temporary relief from the discomfort, you can gargle with warm salt water, stay well-hydrated, and take over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol or ibuprofen. Please get evaluated before starting any specific medication.
