Dr. Hunter Handsfield answered

Specializes in Infectious Disease

Chlamydia: It isn't the treatment causing the abnormal discharge, more likely the chlamydial infection itself. It should clear up soon. If it persists more than a week after treatment, return to the doctor or clinic for reevaluation.
