A member asked:
How many days after an antibiotic should one take a repeat urine culture?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Urine culture is usually not needed to check for effectiveness of treatment. A urinalysis is generally sufficient. A culture may be done if symptoms persist or urinalysis shows abnormalities.
