Whenever I urinate, it hurts, and when i’m done peeing, I still feel like I have to pee?

Question

I think I have a urinary infection. Whenever I urinate, it hurts so much. When i’m done peeing, I still feel like I have to pee. I need to go to the bathroom every 2 minutes. When I go, only a couple droplets come out. It hurts so much and my whole body begins to tense up. I’ve had them for about 3 days. With covid, can I just go see a pharmacist? I don’t have covid, but it would be safer.

Hello, and thank you for your question! Have you had these symptoms in the past 5 years, and received a treatment for it? If so, I invite you to contact your pharmacist for a short consultation to evaluate the possibility of receiving a treatment. Otherwise, you will have to consult a doctor if the symptoms persist more than 5 days. Thank you for your answer. Your pharmacist can evaluate the possibility of starting a treatment IF you have had a diagnosed urinaty tract infection and have received a treatment for it, in the past 5 years. Otherwise, you will have to consult a doctor to obtain the proper diagnosis and to prevent delaying treatment. Kindest regards Tom Samaha, your friendly neighborhood pharmacist
