STD/STI: Sexually transmitted diseases/infections can lead to penile discharge. If discharge persists despite antibiotics, you need to go back to see your doctor & get tested (again). Don't ignore discharge/infection.

Unresponsive drip: Unresponsive infection may be due many causes: 1.) you weren't treated for the right bug or had more than one infection present & were treated for one & not the other; 2.) the microbes you were infected with are resistant to the treatment; 3.) you are being re-infected (partner treated? New partners? Unprotected?) 4.) not an infection at all. See your doc for exam and cultures; partners too!
