Q: i recently had uti symptoms so i called my doctor and they gave me bactrim and a pain reliever pill but after all the medicine i still have the urgency to pee?

: common problem: The most effective way to cure a UTI, if that is what it is, requires obtaining a urine culture. If a germ is found, testing its response to a variety of antibiotics in the lab (adds 1 day test) will find the best one to kill it. You could have antibiotic failure, or another problem masquerading as a UTI. Talk with your doc.
