Hi,
It seems that your daughter may be having acne vulgaris. As, this dose of azithromycine is advised by your doctor. He is right and you give same dose..but she should continue this tab. In same dose for few months. And, apply clindamycine gel on the lesions. She may be benefitted after few months.
I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
