For adults, the typical dosage of Azithromycin 500mg for sore throat is:

500mg once daily for 3-5 days

Alternatively, some doctors may prescribe:

500mg twice daily for 2-3 days

However, it's essential to consult a doctor for a personalized prescription, especially since you're experiencing a sore throat post-COVID.

Always follow the doctor's instructions and complete the full course of antibiotics.
