Brief Answer:
should subside spontaneously

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

These side effects are not uncommon with azithromycin. Usually subside on their own in 1-2 days. So probably you will be good to join office tomorrow.

If required then you can take some antacids like Gelusil syrup to give temporary relief.

Hope this helps.
Regards
