Can a one-year-old and three-month-old take azithromycin?

Patient's question:

High fever for three days, first cough, then high fever. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Injected for three days, but the low fever did not subside. The doctor said to switch to azithromycin. What assistance is needed: Can you tell me if a one-year-old and three-month-old child can use azithromycin? Urgent!!! Thank you for the explanation.

Doctor's answer:

Azithromycin works well for patients with upper respiratory infections! However, Azithromycin affects the stomach; after taking it, the baby feels very bloated and cannot eat. There are several types of Azithromycin, and the baby should take the oral suspension. It must be taken according to the symptoms.
Advice: During the baby's fever, make sure the baby drinks more water. If possible, give the baby a warm bath, but make sure to keep the baby warm afterward to prevent a recurrence of fever.
