Went to urgent care Friday. Prescribed 500 mg Azithromycin once a day for seven days. Is that too much? I had smaller doses for much worse conditions. Drugs.com even for pneumonia it’s 500 day one then 250 the next 4 days. I’m on day 6 of 500 a day and feel worse. Should I skip the last dose? She has me on prednisone too. I went in for allergies got bad. Could not breathe, sinus infection, ears filled with fluid for weeks. I felt great and better first few days but after day 4 I been miserable. Can barely eat for all food is upsetting stomach and causing bad gas.
