Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

The last sexual contact was half a year ago. After that day I started to feel pain while urinating. After a month pain got worse. I went for an HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) test, which showed negative. I was suspected to be having chlamydia or gonorrhea and was given antibiotics for 7-day treatment. It did get better after the treatment but after a month, the problem came back. Last month, I went for the chlamydia and gonorrhea check and it showed negative. Now, the right lymph node is swollen with ear canal feeling inflamed and urination pain. Sometimes, experience lower back pain as well.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com.

The urine report is normal (attachment removed to protect patient identity). As you mentioned, no chlamydia or gonorrhea is there, after treatment. So, take plenty of liquids like lemon juice, coconut water, buttermilk, etc., totally 6.4 - 7.3 Pints . Add alkalizer Citralka two teaspoon full three times a day after food with half a glass of water. It covers your burning. Lymph node, if small may be due to ear, tooth, dandruff problem. You can take tablet Zerodol SP (Aceclofenac Serratiopeptidase) two times a day after food for three to five days, tablet Zifi 200 (Cefixime) two times after food for three to five days for a lymph node. The test for HIV(Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is negative so seems no HIV.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
