A member asked:

What could have caused my antibiotics to not work on my bladder infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Concerned: Most bladder infections are cured with standard antibiotic therapy. If you are still having symptoms, call your physician. He/she may have ordered a urine culture which will give you a better idea if the antibiotics you were given will eradicate the infection.
