Suggest Treatment For Pain And Burning Sensation During Urination

I have had pain in my upper right abdominal area that radiates downward like a burning sensation under the skin along with burning when I urinate. I have finished a 2 week course of levaquin for a possible UTI. I have used Levaquin before with no problems. I'm a 39 year old male 5'11 and 219 pounds.

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Pain and burning sensation during urination indicates urinary tract infection.
2. Recurrent use of same levaquin antibiotic could have caused resistance to present infection.
3. Get a urine microscopy and culture and sensitivity to identify appropriate sensitive antibiotic. Take plenty of fluids and complete antibiotic course. Using a resistant antibiotic for long wont help. Sensitive antibiotic needs to be evaluated.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
