Urine Infection making me miserable!?!


Question:

Urine Infection making me miserable!?

I've been having an urine infection for over a month and it is making me miserable. My doctor did a urine culture and it came back as having moderate bacteria. She gave me Bactrim which made it worse then she gave me Cipro which made it better but now i am miserable again. Any suggestions would be appreciated! And please dont tell me to drink lots of cranberry juice cause i've drank gallons of it and i still feel awful. Thanks for ya'll answers!

Answers:

Until you can see the doctor again (which you should do because antibiotics are the only way to clear this up - it can spread up to your kidneys and/or cause kidney failure), take Azo standard pills. You can get them at any pharmacy for pretty cheap. They are brownish orange in color and will make your pee bright orange, but they relieve all the symptoms (pain, burning, urgency) of the urinary infection within an hour or two. You can also buy cranberry pills, which may help some too, but the Azo Standard is the best. Just be careful because it will stain your underwear... I had to try 3 different antibiotics before one worked - Bactrim and Cipro did not help me either. I was finally given a 3-day course of Zithromax (same as z-pack) and that cleared it up. The Azo Standard (also sold as urinary pain relief pills) will help the symptoms temporarily, but it will NOT cure the infection.
