I have been taking azithromycin why do I still have a fever

If the fever does not subside after taking azithromycin all the time, it may be that the medicine is not right, the drug is ineffective, it has not yet taken effect or there is drug resistance, and the specific reason should be checked by the hospital.

Azithromycin belongs to the macrolide class of antibacterial drugs, which is suitable for infections caused by sensitive bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, mycoplasma, chlamydia, etc. If not caused by these bacteria, azithromycin is relatively weak in killing other pathogens.

If the azithromycin taken loses its effect or does not take effect in a low dose, it may also cause a prolonged fever.

The pathogenic bacteria have developed resistance to azithromycin, and the killing effect of azithromycin on the originally sensitive bacteria is reduced, and the phenomenon of fever continuing after taking azithromycin may also occur.

It is contraindicated in patients with azithromycin allergy and in patients with a history of cholestatic jaundice and hepatic insufficiency after azithromycin.

Adverse reactions include transient neutropenia and digestive system abnormalities.

If the effect of taking azithromycin as prescribed by the doctor is not satisfactory, you should return to the doctor in time and adjust the treatment plan if necessary. The use of drugs must be carefully followed by the doctor's instructions, and the drug should not be used blindly by oneself to avoid adverse consequences.
