Had some antibiotic shots on my back about 78 days ago, and now they're starting to hurt a bit. Any idea what might be causing this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The lingering pain at the injection site 7-8 days after antibiotic injections on your back could be due to inflammation, muscle irritation, or a localized reaction to the antibiotic, which can cause delayed-onset pain.

Considering your symptoms of high fever, frequent urination, and a persistent urge to urinate, it's possible that you have a urinary tract infection (UTI) . Your doctor has already advised Citralka and Dolo, which should help alleviate your symptoms. In addition to your current medication, your doctor may recommend: - *Antibiotics*: To treat the underlying UTI or bacterial infection. - *Pain relief medication*: To manage any discomfort or pain while urinating. - *Fluid management*: To ensure you're drinking enough water and managing your fluid intake. It's essential to follow up with your doctor to monitor your condition and adjust your treatment plan as needed. If your symptoms worsen or you experience severe abdominal pain, vomiting, or blood in your urine, seek immediate medical attention.

I'm a bit worried because I noticed some cuts on the inner skin of my penis after having intercourse last week. It's really dry and itchy now. Could you let me know what's going on and what I can do about it?
Apply a topical antibiotic ointment and a moisturizer to soothe the dryness and itching; take an over-the-counter antihistamine or hydrocortisone cream for itching; practice good hygiene, avoid scratching, and wear loose clothing
