UTI Cipro (ciprofloxacin) resistant: U need a culture + sensitivities (c&s). Simple UTI should respond to 3-day course of antibiotics. Did u have a urine c&s to identify identify organism + appropriate antibiotics? Do u have a fever? Fever + kidney infection may need IV antibiotics, also kidney imaging, at least by ultrasound to rule out kidney stone, or structural abnormality. Hope ur seeing a physician, this could be serious.
