Symptoms?: Are you experiencing any urinary tract infection symptoms? If not, this could be asymptomatic bacteriuria, the leading cause of preventable preterm birth in the us, and a one-week therapy with Keflex or Macrodantin (nitrofurantoin) may be advisable. If yes, then you need to get treated for 7-14 days with Keflex or Macrodantin (nitrofurantoin) based on instructions from your obstetrician. Drink plenty of water, repeat urine culture.
