Chlamydia treatment: These symptoms go along with chlamydia. The recommended dose of azithromycin is 1 g, not 500 mg, which is not reliable. You should not be having sex at all; even with effective treatment, the infection may still be transmissible after onl a day. You and your partner both need to see a doctor or clinic for proper treatment. And no sex, even w/ condom, for the next week.
