Not recommended: It is extremely important to treat infections with the right antibiotics at the right time. While empirical use of antibiotics in extenuating circumstances is allowed, in the long run will result in selecting multi drug resistant bacterial strains. A possible root for the infections has to be questioned as well and that will be best accomplished by using same doc(s), either primary, urology or Gyn
