Resistance : There is becoming a higher rate of resistance to meds used for UTIs, particularly with Cipro (ciprofloxacin) and especially with Macrobid. Keep track of your temperature and evaluate your flank pain throughout the day as you the infection could turning into pyelonephritis. At this point, I'd recommend going on Levaquin, a stronger antibiotic. For future simple UTIs ask for Kefex 4 x / day.
