Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
I understand your concern.
Yes Zithromax is a very good antibiotic and will provide cover to him if he has a bacterial infection.
Important here is to add anti allergic medicines like Levocetrizine.
He should also take steam inhalation.
If this all doesn't help he should be taken to a Physician for evaluation and if required Chest Xray and Blood investigations.
I hope it helps.
