Brief Answer:
Reconfirm diagnosis.No possibility for single dose as allergic to Azithromy
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Thanks for posting your query.
You had mentioned burning of penis. Whether the burning is outside the penis or in the urinary passage?(while passing urine only or persist during all time).
Gonorrhea would likely to have florid manifestation with profuse discharge and severe burning during urination. So your problem is very much unlikely be due to Gonorrhea. If your burning is inside the urethra and experiencing during urination, the it could be due to Chlamydia or or other non-gonococcal urethritis. Presence of pus cells in the urine on microscopic examination will confirm urethritis.
Just mild burning of penis persists throughout the day indicates the possibility of an yeast infection. Confirm the diagnosis once again with the help of a Genito-urinary physician.
As you had mentioned that you are allergic to Azithromycin. Then there is no question of single dose therapy for Chlamydial infection. You may have to take multi dose treatment with Doxycyclin as per the advice of your physician.
Get Well soon.

Here is the thing , I never seen actual fluid drip out of my penis
but at times I had felt moisture in my underwear.
Also , as far as Azithromycin I have taken it before and after 2-3 days
my back was hurting , I assumed it was my kidney and I asked the doctor to
give me some other antibiotics.
So in essence I can take a single dose , if I have to
Will one dose cure the problem ?

Brief Answer:
Single dose Azithromycin is recommended
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Obvious discharge from Urinary meatus favors the diagnosis of urethritis possibly due to Chlamydia. Precum (normal) should be ruled out in this situation. Confirm with urine examination.
Allergic reaction to Azithromycin is comparatively very rare. It would not be the cause for any kidney pain and not a renal toxic. So you can take very well a single dose of Azithromycin along with some protection to stomach with either antacids or with PPI (protection from gastric ulcer) drugs under the supervision of your physician.
