How Long Will VDM-KIT And Augmentin Take To Reduce The Pain In Urethra?

Hi. I'm a male and have pain in my urethra near the tip of the penis. Had unprotected sex a week ago. Have seen a doctor and they did a urine test since there was almost insignificant discharge. I was told I have a bacterial infection and have been given the following medicines: VDM-KIT and Augmentine 625mg one tab twice a day for 5 days. Is this correct? How long can expect the symptoms to disappear and get back to normal? James

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The kit contain higher doses of drugs they may be single dose after post exposure is sufficient. In case of chronic Infection need 2-7 days course in once a day for five days. Urethritis may be due to urinary tract infection also avoid spicy food and alcohol avoid smoking and caffeine drinks.
Drink plenty of water, use urine alkalizer, if symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query.
