Brief Answer:
Aminoglucosides, nitrofurantoin, amoxicillin, etc.

Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Well it actually varies from one person to another, but you should be able to use amoxicillin, penicillins (if you are not allergic to them), nitrofurantoin, bacterim (i.e. trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole).

I hope this helps. Please do not hesitate to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.
