Hi,Welcome to healthcare magic forum
I have read your question in detail and I understand your concern.Going by the symptoms you describe its most likely a viral infection as most common cause. Viral infection will take a course of 1 week from the start of symptoms to subside even after medications, medications though will help to reduce the severity of symptoms.As you are already taking an antibiotic
azithromycin apart from it in similar cases I advice my patients anti-histaminic cetzine, ocean saline
nasal spray to relieve nasal irritation and
paracetamol for fever. Apart from that you can do the following things:
1. Drink warm water and do gargling by mixing warm water with salt 3-4 times a day ,if throat pain persists you can buy tantum gargles(combination of antiseptic and
anesthetic)/
betadine gargles.
2. Avoid unhealthy,oily and cold foodstuffs.
3. Eat well to avoid feeling weak and to improve your immunity.
4. Steam inhalation 2-3 times a day especially before sleep will help reduce the blockage.Good sleep is very essential so take rest as and when possible.
Kindly rate my answer if you find it useful. Feel free to ask any queries.Take care.
