Brief Answer:
Stopping antibiotics is not a good idea. Shift to alternatives.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have carefully gone through the details provided. UTI means urinary tract infection. Such an infection can lead to blood in urine, what we refer to as hematuria. You need to drink plenty of fluids and complete the course of antibiotics. If you are allergic to bactrum, there are other good antibiotis that will clear the bacteria. Talk to your doctor about the same. Discontinuing antibiotics will lead to antibiotic resistance and make conditions worse. Instead, Nitrofurantoin is an antibiotic which is very good in UTI and can be tried.
Feel free to ask me back in case you have any further queries.
