What Causes Discomfort While Urinating?
Question: Hi,
From past few days I have been experiencing slight discomfort in urinating. I have noticed that the volume of urine has also decreased and its mostly yellowish instead of usually white in color.
Is that a cause of concern or is it a temporary?
As an additional information, I was on a 10 days course of CEFTUM 500 mg antibiotic from 19-Jan to 28 XXXXXXX (2 tablets a day) for tonsillitis.
