Detailed Answer:

Hi,

The symptoms you are having looks like urinary tract infection. You'll need a course of antibiotics usually I prescribe Norfloxacin in my practice. kindly ask your physician if they prescribe the same. Wash your external genitals with lukewarm water, have plenty of water and fluids.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards
