Gonorrhea / chlamydia

I went to the community clinic last week because I started to have gono/chlamydia symptoms. I saw an APRN who based on my description of the symptoms put me on Doxycycline 100mg for 7 days. Of course I also got tested for everything (Idk the results yet).

What is concerning me is that, I began to take the antibiotics last Wednesday, and the symptoms went away about 2 days later, so I was really happy. Now since last night I've been feeling some of the symptoms again such as the itching in the urethra and the urgency to pee every 15 mins. I've been taking the med as the "doctor" told me to, hasn't drunk at all. So I don't see why wouldn't the antibiotics work.

So my main question, is this part to the healing process? Or is there a possibility she gave the wrong med, cuz I read that Doxycycline is not the most indicated, and that you usually get a shot plus azythromycin to cure it. So my partner for the precaution of being infected as well went to another clinic and the procedure I just wrote above was the one used, even though they didn't know whether he was infected or not ( he got tested and is waiting for the results). I don't know why the doctor I saw didn't do the same?

If anyone could help me and give me some more info regarding my concerns I'd really appreciate it.

Thank you

Well depending on what you actually have it might not be the correct medication. Wait for test results to come back and then you can discuss other possible treatments.
