Can Azithromycin Be Taken By Hypothyroidism Patients?

Thank you, I have been prescribed azithromycin tablets USP 250 mg by a dentist due to an infection in a tooth, since i've been suffering from stomach issues lately, i'm kind of reluctant to take this. I suffer from Hypothyroidism and Glaucoma. Do you think I should take this medication, also, around 6 months ago, i took an antibiotic for the same reason, since inflammation disappeared I assumed It was no longer there, unless it reappeared. Anyhow, I don't know what to do, I'm desperate, pls help me.
