A member asked:

What happens if i take benadryl (diphenhydramine) then take an amoxicillin will that get rid of my uti?

Dr. Ronald Hamner answered

Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

No: Urinary infections in men require 5-7 days of antibiotics depending on the bacteria. More importantly, UTI in men implies problems with the prostate, bladder, and/or kidneys than need to be evaluated. See your doctor.
