As a part of your care: Avoid sexual relations until you and your partner have been treated. Take antibiotics as directed until your treatment is done. Be sure to take all of the medicine your doctor orders. Call to make an appointment to repeat tests 3 weeks after finishing your antibiotics. Return to the Emergency Department or call your doctor if your signs get worse or you have a fever of more than 100.5 degrees F or 38 degrees C. There are risks of other problems and more serious disease if you do not get treatment or get incomplete treatment. Talk to your doctor or nurse if you have any questions or concerns. 2007 11/2011 Health Information Translations Unless otherwise stated, user may print or download information from www.healthinfotranslations.org for personal, non-commercial use only.
