Do not take E-mycin: Unfortunately you were given an old medication that is toxic to your body, erythromycin. But, the Azithromycin was a good choice to treat chlamydia. Since I do not know where you got the Erythromycin or why it was given to you i cannot comment on that. But, the Azithromycin was appropriate.

Side effect: Erythromycin can cause stomach discomfort or pain. You can try to take it with food. That may reduce such side effect.

You developed side : Effects (not allergic reaction) to the 2 antibiotics. Try taking peptobismol as needed for the diarrhea and heartburn, eat lots of apples and bananas to harden your poop and drink lots of water. Follow up with your dr for any concerns!
