Infectious disease: If you still have symptoms after completing 7 days of the new antibiotic it might be beneficial to have a new culture obtained. On occasion antibiotics treating one organism will enable growth of a different bacteria or fungus. If infections persist an evaluation by a urologist may reveal a reason/cause for the infections.

May need repeat labs: If the bacteria in the culture report was sensitive to the antibiotics that was prescribed then it should be fine. If your symptoms persist would get repeat urineanalysis and culture. If urine is foamy there may be protein in it.
