Hello dear,

Citralka is an alkaline mixture, which helps in reducing the acidic nature of urine & prevents the burning sensation.
The symptoms like burning sensation during urination and urgency suggests towards possibility of Urinary tract infection.

The treatment involves:
1. Drinking lots of water (it dilutes the urine & reduces the burning sensation)
2. Antibiotics depending upon culture & sensitivity.
3. Analgesic like paracetamol 500 mg three times in a day can be added to take care of pain and fever (if any).

Investigations like Urine microscopy & culture will be helpful.

So, kindly consult an Urologist & start treatment accordingly.
One more thing...you should avoid acidic foods, carbonated drinks & maintain good hygiene.
There is no need to worry...you will perfectly alright after taking the course of antibiotics.

Kindly let me know if you have any further queries.
