Hello
Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have UTI with Inflammation of Urethra (Urthritis) Please get your Routine Urine test and Urine culture done to find out Organism responsible for infection and antibiotics to which they are sensitive to.In the mean while start taking Ciproflaxacin along with urinary antiseptic Nitrofurantoin twice daily .Once you get the urine culture report switch on to appropriate antibiotic as per culture report Hope to resolve your problem in two weeks.

Hello dear...
The symptoms mentioned by you such as burning sensation during urination suggest that you might be having Urinary tract infection.
The treatment involves:
1. Drinking lots of water (it dilutes the urine & reduces the burning sensation)
2. Antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin 500 mg twice in a day.
3. If there is associated fever, then paracetamol 500 mg three times in a day can be added.
If symptoms still persist, it will be better to consult a Urologist.
One more thing...avoid acidic foods, carbonated drinks and alcohol...& maintain good hygiene.
There is no need to worry...you will perfectly alright after taking the course of antibiotics.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Thanks & take care.
