Was sick for five days. High fever, infected sinuses, clogged ears, sore throat, wheezing. It was bad. I finally broke down and went to the doctor during my lunch break. He gave me a Z-Pack and within two hours of taking the first dose, I started to improve. It's now day three and I am nearly cured, just a little left-over congestion and a light cough.

Azithromycin 250mg. was given to me for Acute Bronchitis along with Prednisone. The 1st round of medicine was in early Oct. 2012. After taking the antibiotic for 2 days I got painful sores inside my mouth, on lips, cheeks and tongue. It did not cure the Bronchitis so 3 weeks later my Dr. put me on it again. The same thing happened with the sores in my mouth so I am sure it is the Azithromycin 250m...

Used this antibiotic for possible tooth absess - more than likely sinius infection. DId clear up after taking full dosage. Most antibiotics made me very ill. - this one did not.

Worked great on treating tonsillitis, however only got to day three when I experienced a severe allergic reaction resulting in a full body case of hives. I have never been allergic to anything before be sure to discuss this with your caregiver prior to taking this medication.

2 days after the 1st dose, I felt alot better. I had more energy, but coughed more. But, It was easier to cough, so that was a relief. However, on the 4th day, I started to feel worse again, and my chest has tightened back up again and my coughs are very unproductive again. Although I got alot of junk out of my lungs,the first few days, I am back to feeling like I did beforeI took the medicine. It has been 2 1/2 weeks but it feels like a month or more. I really don't want to go back to the doctor. What else can I do? I've done the cool mist humidifiers and the warm... and this antibiotic.Read More Read Less

After the first few days of taking this, my throat felt fine, but I developed other symptoms, and never even got better. I ended up getting a totally different medication

I used this drug as directed by the physician I saw but after the entire dosage was finished I didn't feel this medication took care of the entire problem. I feel the physican should have given me the stronger doses of 500mg or the 6oomg round. I was given the 250mgx 5 days and I still had a mild sore throat and earache.
