Resistance: Sometimes bacteria are resistant to the antibiotics we give. Please let your doctor know that you're still having symptoms - they might have to switch to a different antibiotic.

See your Dr.: Firstly, you may still have a uti, either because the organism was resistant to Cipro (ciprofloxacin) or it aquired resistance before UTI was eliminated. Secondly the UTI may have reached the kidney(s). This can be serious, so you should see your dr. Asap to avoid kidney damage. Good luck.
