A member asked:

Took 1 dose 4 tabs azitromycin 24 hrs ago when do abx start to work in body to relieve burning sensation of penis feeling ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends...: Depends on the cause of the infection. If an STD, it could be resolved in a couple of days. Many times a prostate infection refers pain to the tip of the penis. If that's the case, you'll need a different antibiotic taken daily for up to a 4-6 weeks.
