Treatment over - When do I retest?

Yesterday I finished a 5 day course Azithromycin after a postive test result for mycoplasma genitalium. I'm still feeling some of the sad symptoms as I was before. When is a retest recommended? Does anyone know if the Azithromycin continues to work, even after the course is finished or whether the fact that I still have symptoms (burning when I urinate) this means I need a longer course of antibiotics. I've read that some Azithromycin is resistant to antibiotics.
Any help much appreciated.

the antibiotic you were on takes a full 10 days to work. give this time.

if you really need peace of mind from retesting, wait at least 2 weeks.
