Answers:
See your doctor for further treatment - you may need a 10-day course of antibiotics to kill it - and UTIs aren't somthing you want to leave untreated!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You may need to take a different anti biotic!. It is possible the particular bacteria causing your UTI is immune to bactrim!. Other meds are available!. Your doctor may choose a different one!. For instance, Quinolones work well against infections that involve various organs and systems of the body!. One quinolone that effectively kills disease-causing bacteria in the urinary tract is CIPRO (generic name: ciprofloxacin)!. Antibiotics are typically matched to the infection-causing bacteria!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Sounds like the 3 day course was not enough to kill the infection!. Go back to your doctor before it gets worse!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Definitely see your doc again!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
