Consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis
1) Urine routine and urine culture

Take antibiotic like Augmenting and anti inflammatory drugs like Diclofenac twice daily

Ensure to wash your genitalia with warm water twice daily

Ensure to avoid sexual encounters till it gets cured completely

Hello
Thanks for follow up .

You have not uploaded photograph of your penis .No consultant can make comments unless he examines you in person or have a look at photograph of your penis .It is very necessary to confirm whether it is a dilated superficial vein on shaft of the penis or a Paraphimosis .
