    That happens to my wife with some antibiotics. She buys some over the counter stuff to help with that. It's on the shelf with UTI stuff in the drug store

    Reshmy, there's quite a few discussions on this same problem here so have you had a look at them and seen what advice they give? 

    You don't say what antibiotics you're taking or what for - is it for the uti?  Did your doctor do a culture to make sure it's the correct antibiotic?  Have you considered going back to your doctor or a nurse to check what might be causing the burn? 

    You could try soothing it with coconut oil or natural yoghurt as a temporary measure but if it's that bad you should really get it checked out.

    It sounds like you have thrush from the antibiotics. They kill all the good bacteria in your body as well as the bad. You can get something over the counter, the tablet always works for me. Next time you have to take an antibiotic take a probiotic too.
