Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of your boyfriend having burning micturition after eating food you all ate last night, has also had vomiting and took activated charcoal tablets.
Well food poisoning is not known to cause urinary tract infection.
This looks to be coincidental that he developed such a problem.
I would advise him the following:
Get the urine checked for routine, microscopy, culture and sensitivity.
Blood tests for CBC and kidney function tests.
Stool tests to see if there is food poisoning.
Take a course of an antibiotic and take plenty of fluids orally.
Change over to another antibiotic as per the culture and sensitivity reports.
Consult a Doctor to have clinical evaluation.
