A member asked:
I have been on trimethoprim /sulfa antibiotics for 10days and urine test still shows leuk(white blood cells). don't feel like it's working on the ut?

Uti: Common uti's respond to that treatment. You need to check the urine culture and sensitivity now to properly diagnose and treat you. If this test does not show a urinary infection, a urologist should evaluate you.
