Can we take the Zithromax as medication for pertussis, 2 pills/day? a treatment for 6 days since the tablet includes 6 pills?
Apr 18, 2013

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Dr. Judy Matta has already explained about pertussis. Please note that this diagnosis can only be made after taking a full history and performing a physical examination by a physician. If you suspect you have pertussis, kindly see your physician to confirm the diagnosis and then discuss treatment options/doses.
