Child Suffering From Cough And Cold, Prescribed Grillintus And Azithrol. But Got Azilide Instaed Of Azithrol. Same?
Brief Answer:
Yes, both Azilide and Azithrol are the same.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXX,
Thank you for posing your direct query to me on www XXXXXXX com. The to-the-point answer is that yes, the two medicines are the SAME. Both contain Azithromycin, a commonly used short-duration, once a day antibiotic for coughs and colds due to bacterial infection.
If the doctor has used Grilinctus BM, he/she is probably suspecting a sort of allergic cough with narrowing of the airways due to secretions from the lining of the airways and/or spasm of the muscles of the airways.
You should give the azithromycin for 3 days and the cough syrup for at least six days.
I hope that answers your question.
Thank you once again, and may your daughter become well soon.
