A member asked:

I just started z pack for tooth infection, i started having burning on urinating this morning. will it also cover a uti since i just started z pack ye?

May not cover: or partly covers. But this is not the way uti is treated. You should submit urine first before starting antibiotic for culture and sensitivity. Take care.

Unrelated: Respond to different treatment. Antibiotics will not cure an infected tooth, just reduce severity making it easier for Dentist to treat. UTI requires testing to determine which pathogen is involved and what the correct treatment will be. Report both infections and both treatments to both Dentist and Physician. They may need to collaborate.
