Hello
Thanks for query.
The burning sensation at the tip of the penis that your husband has is due to inflammation of terminal part of Urethra due to unprotected sex.

This could be secondary to your vaginal secretions which are acidic in nature .

Please get yourself checked by a qualified Gynecologist and take necessary treatment.

He needs to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefexime along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily.along with topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice daily.

Ensure both of you wash your genitals with warm water twice daily.

Ensure to avoid sexual encounters till it heals up completely.
