UTI: There is the chance the bacteria causing your UTI may be resistant to Sulfa. Follow-up with your Dr. and get a UA with reflex to Culture & Sensitivities. Having the Urine tested to see what bacteria you have and what antibiotics will help the infection is important and than you will be more likely to improve with the most appropriate treatment. Best wishes.
