Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Azithral containing the antibiotic azithromycin 500 mg is used for treating genitourinary tract infections and has good action against atypical organisms which can be missed on routine tests.
So your doctor has treated you appropriately.
It is possible that your bowel problems are resulting from a chronic infection as you are eating out frequently. Further tests like an ultrasound abdomen and pelvis to rule out inflammation and a stool routine and culture to look for parasites is warranted.
So kindly follow up with your doctor for the said investigations if symptoms persist even after a couple of weeks after completing treatment.
I hope I have answered your query. Please accept my answer if you have no further queries.
