Brief Answer:
looks like a viral infection!
Detailed Answer:
Hello
This is the flu season and it is likely that you may be having a viral infection, hwever i cannot confirm this without examining you!
Since you have started azithromycin(azithral ) , i would like you to continue it, but i would like you to take it only ONCE a day and not twice for 3 days, since you should finish the course of antibiotic once you started it.
Viral infections are more common in this weather , so it may be viral , but again this cannot be confirmed without examining you.
You can take capsule omeprazole 20 mg for the stomach pain and oral rehydration solution 2-3 times a day for the loose stool. If you are having vomiting , blood in stool of the frequency is more , i would like you to meet your doctor immediately as you may need intravenous hydration.
Pain is legs may be due to the viral infection and you can take tablet paracetamol 500 mg 2-3 times a day for it .
Please take rest and drink lots of water/lemon juice. , it will help.
Get well soon!!
