Inflammation In Throat, Bad Taste In Mouth, Mild Diarrhea. Klacid Taken. Advise?

Hi I am taking klacid for flu like virus and as much as it has reduced the inflammation in my throat I have a horrible taste in my mouth and feel terrible. I also have a mild diarrhea. It's been three days now how long should I continue ? My doctor wanted to change the medication but I feel the symptoms might come back so have decided to complete the course. Would five days be enough?
