Get it re-evaluated: Not knowing the type of Ps aeruginosa infection you have (Urinary tract infection? External ear infection? etc) and for how long you have been on ciprofloxacin, it is important for you to go back to your prescriber and tell them there's no relief from the medication they prescribed. They will need to re-evaluate you and determine if you have another diagnosis.
