Will It Be Safe To Take Azithromycin For Pharyngitis?

my son, 4.5 year old, is currently on a course of Azithromycin for pharyngitis (as per the doctor). About two weeks back, he was on a course of Ofloxacin as a suspected case of colitis (amoebiasis). What do I need to do to restore the bacteria-balance in his intestine?
