You most likely have developed a yeast infection as a result of the antibiotics. This requires a different treatment than chlamydia. It is best to go back to the clinic, get it evaluated, and confirm the diagnosis. The azithromycin most likely has worked, but you may have developed this secondary infection as a side effect. You also want to be sure you don't have another STD which wasn't initially detected. Trichomonas is a parasite that can also cause itchiness and discharge. Hope this helps.
