My wife(30 years, 53 kg) has fever(100.6), throat pain and cold cough from yesterday. she is taking laz-ax500 once & hifenac p. is it correct measures?

.: Dosage of Azithromycin laz-ax is right. But most sore throats are due to virus, so not advisable to take antibiotics when not prescribed or not needed.

Has she seen doctor?: Laz-ax500 is azithromycin. This is an antibiotic. It has a long half life so taking it for 5 days is equal to a 14 day regimen. It will treat a bacterial infection. The hifenac p is paracetamol and aceclofenac, for fever and nonsteroidal anti-inflammtory. If she is ill from a virus then rest is really the best thing and fluids. Call her doctor if she is on antibiotic and no better on monday.
