Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM

Read your query , as you habe pain in tooth pain in tooth can be due to carious tooth secondary to periapical abscess .
I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon for examination of tooth and you can do warm saline rinses , as you are asking about medicine Azithromycin you should take by consulting with your doctor dont take medicine without consulting your doctor .
If I am your treating doctor I will suggest you to take medice like Amoxicillin or Ampicillin if you are not allergic .

Hope this will help you.
