I'm dealing with a really bothersome sore throat after having COVID, and I'm considering taking Azithromycin 500mg. Should I be taking it once or twice every day? I'm just not sure what the daily dosage should be for an adult like me. Would love your guidance on this.
Your morning yellow urine is likely due to concentrated urine from overnight dehydration. Drinking 5-6 liters of water daily is excellent, but consider having a glass of water before bedtime. Consult a Nephrologist or Urologist to rule out any underlying kidney or urinary tract issues. Also, address your digestion problems, as they might be linked to your urine color. In the meantime, monitor your urine color and output, and keep your doctor informed. A simple urine test (Urine Routine Examination) can help determine if there's an underlying issue.
