Brief Answer:
Take it for three days

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I read your query and here is my advice.
Throat pain and itching may have been caused from common cold and there is no need for antibiotics at all.
I wouldn't have prescribed azithromycin just for throat itching and pain but once started you better continue the azithromycin treatment.
You can continue azithromycin 500mg for three days ,one tablet daily.


Hope I have answered the question.
