What Are The Side Effects Of Azithromyacin?

I have a z-pak (azithromyacin)... I have had an infection in my RT hallux for the past 4 days progressively worsening. I got it when I cut my toenail too short, it bled a little. and within two days it was clearly infected. I do not currently have insurance or time to visit a doctor for a script..will the zpak help fight the infection?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The z pak would help to fight any infection that is present if the antibiotics are current (not expired).

Though the antibiotics would be very helpful, you may still need to see a doctor for assessment especially if you have any other illnesses such as diabetes.

I hope this helps
