Antibiotics work by killing off the bacteria causing your infection. They only work on bacteria so they don't make you feel better if you have a virus like a cold or flu.

Is it possible to take azithromycin in just 3 three days?

No. Antibiotics always have to be taken the full dose, all the days they have been prescribed. If you stop it either wont work or you risk getting immune to them. This is the rule of all antibiotics. And I know why you want to quit after 3 days; they take 3 days to make you feel better. But that does not mean the infection is treated. All antibiotics makes you feel better after 3-4 days but the treatment is not over until around 10-14 days for most antibiotics.
