Posted on Fri, 5 Jul 2019
Question: I had an abscessed tooth and took antibiotics for it. Since completing my prescription I seem to urinate all the time. When I am out walking I may suddenly have to go. If a bathroom is not close by I may not make it in time. The only time before that I might have to hurry to find a restroom was when I was walking during very cold weather.
