I was diagnosed with Chlamydia and took a 1g single dose of Azithromycin (4 pills at once). It's been 2 days, but I still feel pain. Does this mean the treatment failed? What should I do next?

It typically takes about 3 to 7 days for the bacteria to be eradicated and for the inflammation to subside enough for symptoms to disappear completely. It is likely that the medication is still working or your tissue is recovering. If symptoms persist beyond a week, a follow-up visit is necessary. Remember to avoid sexual contact until you have been cleared and ensure your partner is also treated.
