Brief Answer:
This is not related to chlamydia!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

This is more likely a flu than anything related to chlamydia infection. Full blown chlamydia infection rarely causes systemic fever. With a great ongoing treatment for chlamydia, there is just no reason to expect a systemic manifestation at this time.

I will recommend that you add tylenol, increased fluid intake and rest at this time. Keep me updated about your progress.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me for more information and clarifications if need be.
