[|Human|] Is Azipro 500 (Azithromycin tablets) once a day for three days along with Zyncet (same dosage) enough to cure a bad cold(thick mucus filling up nose every 10 minutes) and mild throat pain? Ive been having these symptoms for a week now. Is this a bacterial infection?
[|AI|]  HIT hanks for posting your query to Chat Doctor.  Your symptoms are suggestive of a throat infection. Throat Infection could be due to either Viral infection or bacterial infection (both cause same symptoms) Only a personal examination of your Throat can help in differentiating between viral and bacterial infection.  There is also a test called Throat swab Culture sensitivity which will detect any bacterial infection. But since you have started Cipro this test may not detect bacterial infection(get this test done if you have not started Cipro).  If the color of Mucus is yellow or green it also indicates Bacterial Infection. For a bacterial infection the treatment given to you is fine. Just also do salt water gargling, Chat Doctor.  Avoid Citrus Fruits. Hope this information was useful to you. Any clarifications feel free to ask. Regards.
