Distressed and defeated

I was diagnosed with chlamydia and have taken 2 courses of Doxycycline for 7 days. Came back positive both times. Was just prescribed Azithro for one day and have developed vaginal itching. Does this mean that the azithro is killing all bacteria or just the good bacteria? I have been completely abstinent. What if this treatment doesn’t work?

You may have developed a yeast infection after 3 courses of antibiotics. Try over the counter Monistat (7 day or 3 day) or ask your provider for Diflucan. Has your sexual partner also been treated?
