Suggest Treatment For Persistent Urinary Tract Infection
Question: Ive been taking antibiotics for 7 days. Today is the last day. I thought I had a UTI due to the sensation always needing to go to the batbroom but there are no other symptoms. Test came back negative but still tried the antibiotics. Its not working but its not as bad as it was. I don't have a primary doctor yet and I dont know what to do.
Brief Answer:
Possible Reasons for your Symptoms
Detailed Answer:
It is very possible that either you have a Urinary Tract infection that requires a different antibiotic (as this particular infection may be resistant to your antibiotic) and or that a medication, use of caffeine/water, and or bladder issues such as hyper-reactivity; may be in effect here. Truly to give you the answer you deserve which is most accurate, you would need to visit a primary care physician and explain your symptoms; and that they have lasted >5-7 days. Then with such information the doctor can step up your therapy, and work on the other more likely causes of your symptoms; including but not limited to those I've described above.
I hope this advice has helped.
