Hello there! Thank you for writing us here.
Phenazopyridine is an analgesic for burning urination. The most common side effect is pain in chest and stomach.
I would suggest you to reduce the dose of phenazopyridine to half of its original dose. Continue your antibiotics till 5 days alright? And don't miss any shot of it. You'll be better in few days and there's nothing to worry about the pain in chest, it too would subside if you reduce the dose of phenazopyridine.
Regards,
Dr Gunjan
