A member asked:
I've had a gonorrhea symptoms 13 days (just got antibiotics today), and over the past 4 days i've developed a lot of prepuce swelling. will the antibiotics typically reduce this swelling on their own, or will i need to have the swelling drained?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gonorrhea: Probably the swealling will clear up with the antibiotics, with no need for other treatment. If not improving after 2-3 days, return to the doctor or clinic treating you. Good luck.
