It sounds like you likely had a urinary tract infection (UTI) triggered by intense sexual activity, which can irritate the urinary tract. Taking ciprofloxacin without a full prescribed course or proper diagnosis can lead to incomplete treatment or resistance. You should consult a gynecologist or urologist immediately to check for persistent infection, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), or other complications.
1) Tab macrobid 100 mg 1 tab twice daily after lunch for 7 days 2) Tab Drotin 80 1 tab daily if pelvic pain for 5 days 3) tab Dolo 650 1 every 6 hrly for fever and chills
Investigation:
Urine Routine & Microscopy
Urine Culture & Sensitivity (C&S)
CBC – look for infection markers
CRP / ESR – inflammation
Visit nearest gynaecologist
It sounds like you’re experiencing symptoms that could potentially be linked to a urinary tract infection (UTI), but the pain, fever, and chills are concerning, especially since the symptoms emerged after a bout of sexual activity. An untreated or inadequately treated UTI can escalate to a more serious condition like pyelonephritis, which is a kidney infection, or possibly pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), both of which require medical attention. Ciprofloxacin is a potent antibiotic, but the dosage and duration must be appropriate for it to be effective. Self-medicating without medical guidance can lead to resistance or other health complications, so it’s advised to stop self-prescribing and seek a doctor’s evaluation as soon as possible. In the meantime, ensure you’re drinking plenty of fluids; this can help with flushing bacteria out of your urinary tract. Avoid irritating the area with more sexual activity until you’ve been assessed and cleared by a doctor. Also, over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen may help ease some discomfort, but they won’t resolve the infection. Given your current symptoms of pelvic pain and chills, it’s critical to have a healthcare provider confirm the diagnosis and provide a complete treatment plan. If you experience severe pain, high fever, nausea, or vomiting, visit a healthcare facility immediately, as these could be signs of a more serious infection needing urgent care.
