Fever on Abx: Hello, a sore throat may be a tonsillitis that is resistant to the azithromycin. Since this antibiotic has been so widely used, bacteria have become resistant to this medication. I would recommend you follow up with your doctor. An abscess could also be forming if your child's symptoms are worsening on an antibiotic.
