Brief Answer:
Most likely related to drugs. Monitor only for now! NOT a new infection!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this pimple like rashes that you have reported. I have reviewed your information fully. Rash is a possible side effect of Cefaclor. With you having just a few and the treatment almost over already, I will recommend that you complete the drugs as prescribed and monitor the rash further.

Generally, there would be no need for further medication and the rash would disappear spontaneously. I will only recommend that you seek further care if the rashes are increasing in number or fail to significantly regress within a week.

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

Brief Answer:
This result is good/normal!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for uploading the result form.

I have reviewed it and there are no more findings in support of a urine infection. This is certainly good news and speaks to the fact that the drugs have done a great job.

Are you still having the hip pain? How many mile do you jog in a day? And have you tried any drugs for this before?

I hope this helps. I wish you well and hope to provide more insights as you provide responses to the above question.
