A member asked:

Hi, i took an at home uti test, came back positive. i'm worried about my liver working overtime as i may have liver disease. is 3 days of macrobid enough if at home test is negative? symptoms were mild to begin with, just slight aching/frequency?

If you have an uncomplicated urinary tract infection-meaning no urological risk factors like renal stones, urinary catheter use, etc.-then 3 days of an antibiotic that the organism is sensitive to should be enough. Ask your doctor for advice if uncertain about your risk factors. Have you seen a liver specialist for diagnosis/treatment of your liver issues? Good luck to you!
