Brief Answer:
Prostatitis probably Chronic bacterial & intermittent urethritis

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.

Burning sensation in penis is due to urethritis. In prostatitis ,prostatic part of urethra may also be involved.
Prostatitis is usually due to bacterial infection.Chronic bacterial prostatitis usually presents as intermittent urinary tract infections( Some times it pains).
You need to undergo routine urinalysis,Urine culture and sensitivity before starting any antibiotic like tablet orni o (Ornidazole IP 500 mg & Offloxacin IP 200 mg ).Its standard dose is 1 tablet twice a day for a minimum period of 05 days. In case of prostatitis it has to be taken for a longer period to eliminate infection.It is a prescription drug and its dose and duration of treatment has to be decided by treating doctor in an individual patient.
To help express prostatic secretions that may contain WBCs and bacteria, prostate massage is sometimes used and prostatic fluid is subjected to culture & sensitivity test to yield better results.
Hence you need to consult a doctor.

Brief Answer:
Stomach cramp? mixed infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.

Orni o (Ornidazole IP 500 mg & Ofloxacin IP 200 mg ) is usually prescribed for mixed infection (amebiaisis/giardiasis and bacterial diarrhoea).

Many physicians treat moderately to severely ill patients with febrile dysentery empirically without diagnostic evaluation using a quinolone, such as Ofloxacin.

Empirical treatment can also be considered for suspected giardiasis or amebiaisis with Ornidazole.
Hence you can take a course of Orni o empirically presumably for mixed infection causing stomach cramp but since it is a prescription drug you need to consult your local doctor.
