: Not on the free HealthTap platform. You will need either a follow up on the paid portion or to see a Urology specialist in case you believe you have a kidney infection. Antibiotics are to be used for limited amounts of time per guidelines and misuse or overuse may result in creating multi drug resistant strains.
