Burning irritation around urethra after masturbation HELP

I am 25 and I think I might've used too much force when I was masturbating last week. Immediately after I ejaculated at first I felt a burning sensation around my entire penis but that quickly subsided after I went to the bathroom and urinated. Afterwards I felt a burning/tingling/irritation around in my urethra/penis tip that has not gone away since. I feel it constantly and the only time I feel any type of relief is when I urinate or masturbate, with no burning sensation on either one. Im not circumcised but when I peel back the skin to check for any signs of infection I don't see any signs of inflammation or anything abnormal that sticks out. My question is is there anything I can do to treat these symptoms like applying heat or ice to the penile region or should I just stop masturbating, which probably is not helping matters, leave it alone and hopefully it heals on its own. Or is the only way I can treat this going to the doctor and get prescribed antibiotics. Any advice would be helpful thanks

You might have an infection on your penis head because you do not flush or wash it well enough. My experience is that flushing well with water helps against such problems.

It might also be that you wash your penis head with something that is irritating, or do not flush away the soap well enough. Also soap you use must be flushed week away.

Forgot to mention that I have also been urinating a lot recently. Mostly because I have been drinking lots of water to keep me hydrated. And the irritation is making these trips a tad more frequent than usual. Not sure if it's contributing or not.
