Here are some...: Generally speaking, nitrofurantoin is still a good time-tested antibiotics for uncomplicated urine tract infection although it has been used for decades. So, it was want to take it if no allergy to it. More? Ask Doc timely. Best wish ...

Other antibiotics: depends on the bacteria that you have got, your doctor can prescribe other antibiotics, hopefully won't cause you an allergic reaction, if an antibiotic is badly needed and no other alternative is available, you can still have it in consultation with an allergist for a process called desensitization, but that's rarely resorted to, good luck
