Brief Answer: Hi and welcome to HCM Detailed Answer: You can wait for several more days and see will there be improvement since symptoms may persist up to 7 days after antibiotic course. if there would be still symptoms, you should do std testing and verify the exact cause of std. Clamydia in most cases can be cured with single dose of zithro,but gonnorhea,trichomonas or other may require another antibiotic. Also, your partner should be checked as well if you have sexual intercourse. Wish you good health. Feel free to ask. Regrads
