How Can Gonorrhoea And Upper Respiratory Tract Infection Be Treated?

I unfortunately recently got gonorrhea- I know that on July 30th almost within a few hours of having sex--I became sick with a horrible upper respitory infection that came with a terrible cough. A week later I finally began to feel better. But then a few days after feeling better,(not completely--but better)-I noticed discharge from my penis. I remember reading that is a gonorrhea symptom and immediately went to my doctor s office under an urgent care visit. They gave me 1000MG of azythithroyicin and then a shot of something taken in the muscle in the glutes. I m sure you know what it is. Within less than 2 days the discharge stopped and was dry. Gone. However- I have still had this cough lingering and terrible nasal congestion. Don t forget-this all began on Sunday July 30th. Today makes 16 days since then. Now here we are and I still have the cough lingering-although not producing anything, And some congestion nasally. But the thing is-- is that I have felt SO tired and wiped out lately. I fall asleep much earlier and it isn t just a tired before bed feeling--but a not normal feeling of major exhaustion. I do workout. A week later after this happened I worked out,(carefully going lighter) and the day I went in to the doctor s office to take the shot I worked out and felt decent. But it seems SINCE I have gotten the dose of medicine plus the actual shot------although the discharge stopped--and looked like to me the gonorrhea went away.....I still don t feel good. In other words--the cough is nearly gone, the nasal congestion and discharge is much less. There is no longer any discharge from my penis,(that stopped almost immediately after being seen at the doctor s office)--------Yet...........I just feel so tired all the time now. When I try to workout---I m not just pleasantly sore afterwards which is a good sore.....but kind of drained and wiped. Not right. But yet...I don t want to lose muscle either. What is going on? And mind you- I have never once had a fever during any of this. I am getting bloodwork done soon. I am hiv positive,(27 years and going)-and soon am going to get my labs done for viral load and T-Cells like we do every six months. So I will be seeing my physician soon. But what do you make of this? It feels like I MAY have something that is just not moving very fast to go away. I know sometimes these syndromes take a while to completely go away. But what do you think? Thank you for your advice Richard

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Consume plenty of liquids to maintain hydration. Balanced nutritious diet with avoidance of excess sugar , oily , non veg , spicy , dairy fat , junk foods , artificial sweeteners. Gargles with salted lukewarm water added peppermint oil 3 times a day. Deep breathing exercises , walking in fresh air , YOGA help to recover faster. Avoid exposure to dust , pollens ; if necessary use triple layer face mask. You can take cefadroxyl twice a day for five days, you can take paracetamol twice a day for five day. You can Rantac D twice a day for five day, give Salbutamol twice a day for five days. Avoid smoking or any form of tobacco consumption. Avoid stress, anxiety. Tessalon pearls 3 times a day. Basil leaves, turmeric powder in boiled skimmed milk, pure honey, chamomile tea are herbal recovering agents. Consult later your doctor if required for further evaluation with lab tests, X-ray chest & detailed management.
