Detailed Answer:
HI

Thanks for choosing Healthcaremagic.

Myself Dr.Divakara.P answering your query.

Your symptoms are suggestive of Throat Infection. If it is due to virus then no need for any Antibiotic like Azithromycin or Levofloxacin.

In my practise I usually prefer Levofloxacin which is pretty much effective and safe. Since you have already been started I recommend you to continue the same .

For Gut flora imbalance , you can take any probiotics like Enterogermina till you complete the antibiotic course.

In addition do salt water gargling , drink hot water , eat less oily food , avoid non veg food , avoid Citrus fruits.

Hope this information was useful to you.

Regards.
