Brief Answer:
I am afraid your antibiotics are not active on the germs!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this infection. It is likely that this represents an extension of the infection from the prostate. I think that your drugs are not active against the germs causing the infection. I will recommend that you return and talk to your doctor. personally, I will like that a culture be done and the exact germ identified. Also, the antibiotics that would be able to control this infection would also be determined. This would help in managing this infection.

I will like too see you handle this as an emergency. If you cannot see your doctor within 24hours, then going to the ER would not be a bad idea.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
