General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Based on the description, it appears that your child could be having fever because of respiratory tract infection.
Azithral contains 'Azhithromycin', which belongs to the group of macrolide antibiotics, which is used to treat various bacterial infections.
Hence, the doctor has prescribed a course of it, which needs to be taken for 5 days. Fever would reduce and infection should get controlled by 3rd day after institution of treatment, but the course needs to be completed by taking the medication for 5 days.
Kindly follow the prescription as suggested by your doctor and do the necessary follow-up.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
