My friend mentioned that he feels a burning sensation when he pees, especially towards the end. I recently gave him oral sex even though I had a cold and an itchy throat, and I also had a cough drop in my mouth at the time. Could that be causing his problem? What might be going on, and is there something he can take to feel better?

It sounds like your friend may have a urinary tract infection (UTI) which can cause a burning sensation during urination. He can take an over-the-counter medication called Phenazopyridine (brand name Pyridium) to help relieve the burning sensation. However, it is important for him to also see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment, as UTIs can sometimes require antibiotics for complete resolution.
