For pain relief, consider acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin). Follow package directions carefully. These can help manage aches, fever, and discomfort associated with gonorrhea.
Managing Discomfort
Over-the-counter anti-diarrheal medications, like loperamide (Imodium), may help if you experience diarrhea, a potential symptom. Remember, these medications only address symptoms, not the infection itself. Always seek professional medical advice for diagnosis and treatment.
If you experience burning during urination, consider using a cool compress on the affected area for temporary relief. This can help soothe irritation. However, you must seek medical attention to treat the underlying gonorrhea infection.
Hydration is key! Drink plenty of water to help flush out your system and alleviate some discomfort.
