Recheck: A UTI responds within 6 days to an effective antibiotic, and symptoms start improving within 24-48 hours. If you are not significantly better after 6 days, the antibiotic may be ineffective against the bacteria causing a UTI (or you have something else). A urine culture done 6 days ago should have results to prove the diagnosis and tell which antibiotics work for it (and to which it is resistant).
