Need quick help/advice.

Hello,

I recently discovered my girlfriend has HSV type 1. We'd been having unprotected sex for a little while before she told me, and lately there has been some weird things going on in my body.
These past 2 weeks i've been constantly sick with something different. I first had tonsilitis, and then had a reaction to some anti-biotics causing skin rashes, now i've got some genital problems.

My foreskin is swolen beyond anything i've seen before, i cannot urinate, or barely even walk, because it's so uncomfortable, i cannot pull the foreskin back, i've tried, and it just causes pain.
The reason i'm asking this on here is because my clinic is closed for a couple of days, and i'm leaving to go to a sports carnival soon, so can't really get much answers.
I'm just looking to enquire as to if anybody knows what i can or should do.

Help would be appreciated.

if your clinic is closed, you should be seen at your local ER. This isn't something to put off.

odds are this isn't herpes going on. you need to be seen and get better answers and treatment before this gets worse.

You should avoid any sexual contact just in case, so as not to aggravate it further. Make an appointment ASAP to get tested.. Thats all you really can do until you can get in to see the doctor...

You'll be fine regardless, good luck
