Redness of urethra with itching and burning while urinating is mostly due to inflammation of Urethra (Urethritis).

You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefixime 200mg twice daily along with anti-inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily for next 5 days along with topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice daily (you may need to obtain the necessary prescription from your local physician).

Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily.
