Hi...throat pain can be most of the time 95% of the ties viral pharyngitis. Do not use antibiotics (Azithromycin) unnecessarily.
I suggest -
1. You get the child's throat examined by a pediatrician.
2. Get a rapid antigen test done for streptococcal infection and if it is positive then only go ahead with antibiotics.
