If you are sexually active, there is a good chance that you have contracted chlamydia. The best way to treat the infection is with antibiotics. However, if left untreated, the infection can lead to serious health problems. Here are some tips on how to get the best treatment for chlamydia:
- Get tested for chlamydia as soon as possible after being infected. If you are sexually active and do not have regular sex partners, get screened every year.
- Take antibiotics as prescribed by your doctor. Be sure to take all of the prescribed medication even if you feel better within a few hours. If you do not take all of the medication, the infection may return later on.
- Avoid sexual contact until the illness is fully cured.
