A member asked:
Trimothorprim and cephalexin for my uti is not working. what alternatives would you suggest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Urine Culture: If the antibiotics were prescribed without a culture, then you should have a culture off antibiotics. If you previously had a urine culture, a repeat culture is appropriate at this point. You may just have the symptoms of a UTI without an infection. See a urologist.
