Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
I understand that your son has severe running nose.
Giving azithromycin may not help unless he has severe signs of throat or ear or chest infection.
If really you need to give , 250 mg tablet once daily is what I recommend to similar patients in my clinic.
My best advice is to consult your Pediatrician before starting antibiotics.
Unnecessary antibiotics might weaken his immune system.
