Can one take Azithromycin to prevent brain eating amoeba infection, if a little water might have got up the nose, while washing face? It is borewell water from overhead plastic tank, so not chlorinated. Is such infection there in UP state during summer?

I am not aware of any amoeba transmitted through water which enters the brain through the nose. Certainly not in UP. And if there was to be such an amoeba it would not have responded to Azithromycin.
