Accepted Answer

See doctor: Where is your soreness? Abdomen or back? Were you originally tested for a UTI, or was it diagnosed over the phone/by history. Usually your symptoms should improve by the time you finish your antibiotic course. If symptoms return, you may be resistant to the antibiotic, or it is not a UTI. I'd recommend seeing your doctor and consider getting a urine culture. Best wishes.

Accepted Answer

Uti rx : It is essential to know what bacteria is cultured and what antibiotics will kill it -- this allows choice of antibiotic that will be directed against your specific uti bacteria.  Knowing that allows a choice of a liquid suspension or liquid form which you can take - more easily.  Then take antibiotic with gentle food, like toast or applesauce or pudding or yogurt.

ive been taking antibiotics for a uti for going on 4 days now but can't seem to get rid of it. is it okay to take cystex or azo for the pain and discomfort while on antibiotics and how long to wait before i go see the doctor if it does it go away?

Accepted Answer

4 days: You can take Azo while you are on antibiotics for a UTI; however, you should follow the directions and not use Azo longer than recommended in the directions.  Also If you have been on antibiotics for 4 days and aren't getting better, you may have an infection that isn't sensitive to the antibiotic you are on.  You need to see your doctor tomorrow and ask about this.  Best wishes!
