Keflex is not a good: You should go see a doctor and ask him/her to give you an antibiotic which is best suited for uti. Keflex is generally not a good antibiotic for uti. Most doctors would use either Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) or Ciprofloxacin but you would need a prescription from your family doctor asap.
