See doctor: First step is to have your urine tested, with a culture and sensitivity. If you are infected, an antibiotic can be selected which is tolerated and not similar to penicillin. Let your doctor clearly know your history. Best to start ASAP.

UTI: I agree with Dr. Machanic. It is best to start with a medical evaluation. That is the best way to get an accurate diagnosis and for the provider to prescribe an appropriate treatment. Take care
