Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have staphylococcal infection of the urethra.

Please get your routine urine test and urine culture done to find out the organisms causing this infection and antibiotics to which they are sensitive to.

Please take broad spectrum antibiotics like Cefotaxime along with urinary antiseptic like Nitrofurantoin twice daily and urine alkaliser thrice daily.and later on switch on to appropriate antibiotics as per culture report.

Please practice safe ,protected sex to avoid it being getting transmitted to your partner.

Get the prescription of medicines from your family Physician.
