Hi. I have a query regarding a STD infection, Gonorrhea , sexually active in the last 7 days and noticed a light green milky discharge from my penis 2 days ago. Classic Gonorrhea symptom. So have self medicated with Ciprobay 750mg in the last 24 hours. All is well, however slight nasal congestion , fever, bad breathe (metallic), body odour and aching/ stiff neck plus noticeable aching in my ankles, not necessarily muscular, worsening during today. Are these potentially symptoms of the infection or side effects of the Ciprofloxacin ?
HelloThanks for your query, based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have varied symptoms associated with greenish urethral discharge suggestive of active Gonococcal infection. The symptoms that you have are not due to side effects of Ciprofloxacin but part ODF active Gonococcal infection. Please consult qualified specialist in sexual diseases and get swab test of urethral discharge done to confirm the diagnosis. Take medication like Erythromycin for 2 weeks. Avoid sexual activities till you recover completely. Chat Doctor.
