Hi Thank you for asking HCM I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to gastric acid reflux after irritation from taking azithromycin. taking proton pump inhibitors like esomeprazole(nexium) will be helpful to clear this. Hope this may help you. let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
