I have a uti and i have been taking medicine not prescribed by a doctor for three days now and i still have the uti & im almost done with the medicine?

UTI: If the medication is an antibiotic then it is possible the bacteria had been eradicated and persistent symptoms are due to inflammation. Your best course if action now is to stay well hydrated and have your doctor check a urinalysis and get a urine culture.
