Yes most likely, however that would be a fairly unwise application of the drug. Zithromiacin is a prescription drug - first of all, and based on your question I am guessing a doctor did not prescribe it for the strep throat. Thus, DO NOT USE IT. Zithro is a powerful anti-biotic and it is important to introduce it to your body sparingly to maintain its effectiveness.

In a review of data from national ambulatory care surveys conducted during the period 1995-2003, Dr Linder et al found that, during approximately 7.3 million annual visits for sore throat, doctors prescribed antibiotics in about 53% of cases. This percentage is considerably higher than the 15-36% prevalence of strep throat. Moreover, about 50% of children who received antibiotics got the wrong drugs, or a non-recommended drug (27%). Recommended agents include amoxicillin, penicillin, first-generation cephalosporins and erythromycin. Antibiotics not recommended but often prescribed include other cephalosporins, extended spectrum macrolides (e.g., Zithromax [azithromycin], Biaxin [clarithromycin]), Augmentin [amoxicillin-clavulanate]) or other agents.

It is sometimes a choice doctors will use to treat strep if drugs such as the Z Pak have not yielded results. Ideally you need to have a throat culture taken to determine whether it is a bacterial or viral infection. Antibiotics won't cure a viral sore throat; time will.
