Hi,

There may be some short of injury to the penis during act of catheterization. Due to this trauma to penis, he might be having pain, swelling & urge to urinate frequently. Definitely, presence of infection may be there at the local site of trauma leading to urine infection.

Hence, he has been given rightly a course of antibiotic as well as AZO for burning micturition. As, he is getting some relief in his symptoms, I do not think, that he needs to be taken to ER. However, in this case, along with antibiotic, some OTC anti-inflammatory / analgesics may be also given to take care of swelling and pain, if it has not been given already.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
