At least after 5-7 days of treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I read your query and here is my advice.
I think you should totally finish the antibiotics treatment for UTI before doing the steroid injection.
You may need 5-7 days treatment for an UTI.
If it is possible you can redo an urine analysis a week after finishing the treatment to check for possible infection.
At least 5-7 days of antibiotics treatment are needed before doing the procedure
Hope I have answered the question.

Thanks.
