Accepted Answer

?UTI: Assuming you mean a urinary tract infection when you refer to "water" infection?  The urinalysis probably showed leukocytes (wbc's) which is often a sign that there could be a urinary tract infection, which are often easily treatable by the dr.  Best wishes.

Question 10

can you take phenoxylcillin for a water infection ?

Accepted Answer

Water infection?: Do you mean urinary infection?  
And possibly Phenoxymethylpeniicillin?

So, if that is what you meant, you can TAKE Pen VK as it is called, for a urinary infection, but it isn't very effective.  Generally, you shouldn't have old penicillins lying around and should get a diagnosis and a new prescription for any new infection.
