Q: is it normal to still have blood in urine after finishing a 1 week course of nitrofurantoin. uti was confirmed sensitive to these antibiotics. im also very nauseous and mild flank pain on left side. no other symptoms?

: Not normal. Nitrofurantoin very effective for BLADDER infection. With nausea and flank pain sounds like you have a KIDNEY infection. May need an entirely different antibiotic. Back to Primary Care (or Urgent Care)
