You need antibiotics: It is important to have a test called a "Urine Culture and Sensitivity" done whenever UTI is diagnosed in order to identify which bacteria is causing the UTI and which antibiotic will kill that bacteria. It is not uncommon for bacteria which causes UTI to be resistant to multiple antibiotics. The sensitivity test will let you know if Amoxicillin will clear up the infection.
