We're trying to have a baby and I've been taking Vitafol 5mg folic acid tablets for the past three months. Is this the right supplement to be on and when's the best time to take it each day? Also, what should I do if I accidentally skip a dose?

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.
