A member asked:
My husband is being treated for sepsis, kidney infection and acute prostatitis. he has been on iv antibiotics for 17 days and it still burns. is this normal?

Yes: After a serious infection such as this one, there is likely to be burning until the epithelium has completely healed. There may also be another cause of the burning; your physician can address this. Best wishes.
