Thanks for consulting. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.

you can take ciprofloxacin for one more day.
after the end of the antibiotic course kindly take bifilac or other pro-biotic medication for atleast one week to replenish your intestinal flora.

you can have intercourse there is nothing wrong with it.

Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.
