See DR: This is an unusual combination of antibiotics. "Cellulitis"? Where? Fever? Due to strep? Pain on urinating? Some strep infections may cause glomerulonephritis with blood in urine. Kidney stones cause blood in urine, usually with acute pain.Various infections, immune reactions, vascular lesions, tumors, and injuries cause blood in urine.

Need urine tests: So, as stated by Dr. Dohan, there are several causes for bleeding in urine, and your post doesn't offer enough to make a diagnosis. Antibiotics may be responsible, from viewpoint of allowing a resistant infection to develop in urine. Have you any other symptom of urinary infection (painful, frequent, smelly voiding). Urinary testing, Dr. visit best approach.
