Question : I am suffering from a sore throat, fever and cold-like symptoms. I have also recently finished a course of Klacid XL due to a wisdom tooth operation. Is it safe to take something like Zinnat 500mg to aid the recovery? Thanks.

Hello,

Thanks for the question.

I would recommend azithromycin for this.In addition give try to warm salt water gargles and steam inhalation.

Please feel free to ask if there are further questions or doubts.

Regards.
