According to your situation, besides frequent urination, there may be symptoms of a urinary tract infection. It is recommended to get a urinalysis done. If there is an infection, you can take levofloxacin hydrochloride capsules. Continue taking the medication for three more days after the symptoms disappear to ensure a full recovery and avoid recurrence. Drink as much water as possible, which can help cleanse the urethra. Pay attention to preventing colds and avoiding overexertion.
