I am a 77 yr old man with badly inflamed urethra with no stones or scar tissue that is resistant to both ampicillin 500mg & doxycline 100mg lota pain.

See Urologist: After 2 courses of antibiotics, is likely that your problem is not bacterial. Viral or fungal etiologies come to mind, and both have slightly different clinical presentations. Would recommend seeing a urologist if your PCP's care has not helped. There are treatments available once a proper diagnosis has been made.
