Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain in case if the splotches and ulcer in tongue have appeared after taking antibiotic Azithromycin it can be due to allergic reaction or side effect with the antibiotic while it can also be due to apthous stomatitis secondary to throat infection and inflammation..

I would suggest you to consult your treating physician and get evaluated and he can advise you to change the antibiotic.
As of now he can gargle with numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine..
You can also take multivitamins daily...
Take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Motrin..
Do warm saline gargles and suck ice pops..
In case if it is due to side effect of antibiotic anti-allergics like Benadryl can be taken..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
