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, the pain got worse. I went for an HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) test, which was negative. I was suspected of having chlamydia or gonorrhea and was given antibiotics for a 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 was negative. Now, the right lymph node is swollen with ear canal feeling inflamed and urination pain. Sometimes, I experience lower back pain as well.

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The urine report is normal (attachment removed to protect patient identity). As you mentioned, no chlamydia or gonorrhea is present after treatment. So, take plenty of liquids like lemon juice, coconut water, buttermilk, etc., a total of 6.4 - 7.3 pints. Add the alkalizer Citralka, two teaspoons three times a day after food with half a glass of water. It covers your burning.

A lymph node, if small, may be due to ear, tooth, or dandruff problems. You can take tablet Zerodol SP (Aceclofenac Serratiopeptidase) two times a day after food for three to five days and tablet Zifi 200 (Cefixime) two times a day after food for three to five days for a lymph node. The test for HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is negative, so there seems to be no HIV.

Kind regards.
