Resistant germ: If you are not getting better from a course of antibiotics- this likely means the germ is 'resistant' and you need a different antibiotic altogether. You would benefit from a urinary culture - and from there a doctor could help guide you. Fluoroquinolone antibiotics can lose their power - particularly where they are not regulated well. Try to see a doctor today for that evaluation and treatment.
