Hello,
The symptoms are probably related to side effects of Azithromycin.
I suggest to use a gastro protector such as Omperazole 20 mg in the morning before breakfast.
I also suggest to eat a healthy diet and drink liquids.
I recommend to take a vitamin supplement, vitamin B12 to help with the weakness.
In case of headache you can use Tylenol for relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
