Symptoms of Chlamydia in the Throat And Eyes
If semen or vaginal fluid from a person with chlamydia comes in contact with the eyes, it can cause conjunctivitis [8]. This is marked by redness, pain, and discharge from the eyes.
Some people get chlamydia in their throat from oral sex. This type of chlamydia is uncommon and typically causes no symptoms. If you experience symptoms, these may include [9]:
- Fever
- Sore throat
- Throat dryness
- Coughing
Conclusion
Chlamydia does not cause symptoms in most people who contract it. If you have some or all of the symptoms in this article, you should see a doctor. They are usually indicative of STDs, even if not chlamydia. This is because many STD symptoms mimic each other.
