I had a urethral swab done and noticed today the opening of penis seems pretty swollen and red on the outside and inside and stings a little. i'm assuming it's normal and to take ibuprofen to help with the swelling ?

Please check the results of the swab tests. Some results may comeback a few d days later. Ask about ibuprophen at place that did swab. They know what is going around.
