Not healed: If you were correctly diagnosed, you should no longer have symptoms. It is possible you were treated with Azithromycin in which case the 5 day therapy would last 10 days and so it can take that time. But this is the third line choice and you might need another round of antibiotics. The most important thing to do for this and in general is to quit smoking entirely.
