What to do with a kidney infection that keeps coming back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Culture: Get a culture and sensitivity to see what will get rid of it. Wipe only from front to back, avoid caffeine, drink lots of water, check for urethral stenosis (see a urlogist), and use a betadine douche. Avoid bubble baths and use showers.
