Hi dear
Thanks for choosing Health care magic

The burning sensation you developed could be a sign of a disease known as Peripheral Neuropathy, this diseases causes tingling and burning sensation in hands and feet among other symptoms.

Peripheral Neuropathy can be caused by some viruses such as namely Herpes Simplex or Herpes Zoster,,, however it can also be caused by antibiotics used to treat UTI and respiratory infections.

Since you mentioned that you are currently on antibiotics for UTI then it's highly likely that your symptoms is due to the antibiotics you are given

Group of antibiotics that are known as fluroquinolones namely Ciprofloxin and levofloxin could lead to peripheral neuropathy in some patients..

My advice for you is to check what antibiotics you are taking, if it's Ciprofloxin or levofloxin or other antibiotics in the group of Fluroquinolones then stop immediately and go to Doctor to give you an alternative antibiotic medicine such as Azithromycin or Amoxicillin (make sure to tell the doctor if you previously had allergy to any antibiotic group)...

Peripheral neuropathy could be a reversible disease and in some patients it can disappear by it self in months or so, hopefully you will be fine soon..


If you have more questions don't hesitate to ask ..

Wish you all the best
