Health Tap docs: ...can prescribe antibiotics but only via our Virtual Practice option. If you have a home urine test for diagnosing UTI, that would be great. But, if you don't and aren't sure if your symptoms are from a UTI, it's best to go to an urgent care. Usually when you're admitted to a hospital they continue your current meds. I don't know why they didn't in your case. Sorry about that!

Visit urgent care: It is not practical/legal to prescribe antibiotics without establishing a doctor-patient relationship by in-person contact.
