How is the dosage of azithromycin capsules?

Patient's question:

For two days now, I've had a runny nose, tearing eyes, and occasional coughing. I'm worried about laryngitis, as I've always had acute laryngitis once a month for the past two months.
Previous treatment and effectiveness: I took Shuanghuanglian oral liquid, and currently, there are no symptoms of high fever.
What kind of assistance would you like...

Doctor's answer:

According to the baby's symptoms, he can be given azithromycin. It is recommended to give the child azithromycin dry suspension or granules in fruit flavors, which are sweet and help the child cooperate in taking the medication, contributing to a complete recovery from the illness.
Medical Advice: Azithromycin is used to treat pediatric pharyngitis and tonsillitis. It should be taken once daily at a dose of 12 mg/kg of body weight (maximum daily dose not exceeding 0.5 g). It is recommended to dissolve and shake well with an adequate amount of cool water before oral administration. Avoid using hot water to dissolve, as it may interfere with the drug's efficacy. Alternate use for 4 days. Bowel movements may interfere with the absorption of azithromycin, so it should be taken 1 hour before a meal or 2 hours after a meal. Children with conditions such as stomach pain, asthma, epilepsy, or heart failure should be cautious of potential drug interactions when taking azithromycin.
Wishing the baby a speedy and complete recovery to his lively and adorable self!
