UTI? Chlamydia? Both?

I went to the doctor 5 days ago for a UTI and got antibiotics. I've been taking them perfectly as directed, but the burning sensation still has not gone away! The urge to pee went away a day after starting the antibiotics but today it is now starting to come back, but is definitely not as bad as it originally was. Does this mean the antibiotics are not working?? I still have a day and a half left to go but I thought the symptoms would have gone away by now. I've had 3 UTIs in the past and they cleared up quickly, unlike this time. However, with my previous UTIs I never experienced the burning sensation when I pee.
I was experiencing burning when I pee last month, but without the urge to go all the time, so I also went to the doctor and turned out that I had chlamydia, which I got treated for. The symptoms cleared up in a couple days. I've had sex once since but it was protected and with someone I'm almost 100% sure does not have any STDs.
So now I'm wondering could this painful urination be just the result of the UTI or could it be possible that the chlamydia actually didn't go away and I am experiencing symptoms again??
For those who have had UTIs, how long does the burning sensation usually take to go away??
