A member asked:

Is a 3 day course of amoxicillin sufficient for e choli uti? i read 3 days of antibiotic are enough and reduces side effects.

Yes: Most organisms that causeUTI respond well to antibiotics. 3 day course is the recommended length of treatment with use of appropriate antibiotics. Keep hydrated to reduce the risk of developing UTI. Good health.
