A member asked:

Help please! could chlamydia affect your throat and nose?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Throat yes: Two species of chlamydia have been associated with sore throats: chlamydia trachomatis and chlamydia pneumoniae. Chlamydia trachomatis is the bacteria that causes the sexually transmitted disease. Symptoms include a more persistent dry, scratchy sore throat, pain with swallowing, fever and rarely a cough. One should see a doctor for any sore throat that lasts longer than 7-10 days.
