Hello dear...
The symptoms mentioned by you such as burning sensation during urination suggest that you might be having Urinary tract infection.
The management involves:
1. Drinking lots of water (it dilutes the urine & reduces the burning sensation)
2. Antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin 500 mg twice in a day.
3. If there is associated fever, then paracetamol 500 mg three times in a day can be added.
Investigations such as urine routine & microscopy will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis.
So...it will be better to consult an Urologist & start treatment.
One more thing...avoid acidic foods, carbonated drinks and alcohol...& maintain good hygiene.
There is no need to worry...you will perfectly alright.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Thanks & take care.
