A member asked:

In er on tues was told its pid & they prescription 2 antibi .friday i went for f/u and it wasn't, it's bladder infection & prescription 2 more! is all this safe for me?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Treatment: A urinary tract infection is much less serious and easier to treat than PID. Take the prescribed medication according to directions and after completing the treatment, go for a follow-up urine culture to see that the infection has cleared.
