most throat infections or throat pain is caused by viruses. viruses do not respond at all to antibiotics. the only way a medical clinician would recommend azithromycin for a throat infection would be for a penicillin-allergic person who has lab-documented strep and does not have mononucleosis. i do not recommend self-diagnosis and self-treatment using leftover antibiotics or antibiotics there are prescribed for someone else when it comes to managing a throat infection.
