Brief Answer:
As explained below.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

The antibiotic dosage is not sufficient. You will have to take it twice daily for 5 days course.

I suggest you take Tab. Azithromycin 500 mg once daily after dinner for 3 days. Drink warm lemon juice with a tsp of honey every day for a week. Steam inhalation twice daily for 20 mins helps clear the mucus. You can take Tab. Dolo 650 mg as and when required for pain or fever.

I hope this answered your query.
Regards
