Are Antibiotics Harmful During Gilbert Syndrome?

In India, I have a month back gilbert syndrome and doctor told nothing to worry since it required some rest and veg diet and just prescribed probotics to take post lunch and dinner. Now, I am in USA due to very cold climate conditions, i got Cold and bronchits(Phelgm in Lungs). I remember last year, when i had similar issue in India doctor prescribed azithromycin 500 Mg(3 tablets, 1 per day). Can i take antibotics now, will be there any side effect because of Gilbert Syndrome? Kindly advise me

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.
Gilbert Syndrome is a benign condition.
Taking antibiotics will not cause harm because of the preexisting Gilbert syndrome.
So you need not worry about taking antibiotics for your respiratory infection.
I hope that answers your question.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.
