This is a severe infection. Azithromycin will be insufficient for this. You need much stronger antibiotics, to be given by injections.

ESR and WBC count are normally raised in pregnancy. Continue the antibiotics and do steam inhalation. You should recover soon.

WBC count and ESR are normally elevated in pregnancy. Don't worry, these are not a sign of severe infection. Continue the antibiotic course and follow up with your doctor.
