How long does it take to feel better after starting antibiotic for a uti? i've taken 2 so far and don't feel better yet.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Give it some time.: We know that one dose of an appropriate antibiotic can sterilize the urine. But relief from symptoms of a urinary infection could take a couple of days. Give it a little more time - assuming the antibiotic choice is effective against the bacterium in question.
