default
Posted on Mon, 5 Jan 2015
Question: I have an urgency to urinate and when I do hardly any thing comes out. I also can't control it at times and it soils my underwater. I recently hade a sinus infection and was given Zithromax for five days. I finished taking them a week ago Wednesday. Is it a yeast infection? I have been off the Zithromax for ten days.
Thank you, XXXXXXX

After confirming the diagnosis by a urine routine test,this can be treated with antibiotics like norfloxacin or cefixime for a few days. Your doctor will guide you.
