Need antibiotic ASAP: You need testing for chlamydia and proper antibiotic reatment (doxycycline or azithromycin) even if your test is negative. Improved symptoms with yogurt and probiotics are meaningless and won’t prevent tubal infection or infertility, which can happen even without pain or other symptoms. Don’t mess around with this: see a doctor or clinic and do it right! Good luck.

The clock is ticking: If he gave you chlamydia you need to understand that yoghurt will do NOTHING to cure it. To the extent you think it is it is not your friend. Chlamydia can go up into your tubes and live there, destroying the fragile tissue and make you sterile. It could also flare up into a painful hospital based infection. You need to get in and get tested/treated as soon as possible.
