5-7 day antibiotic therapy is needed.

Hi Sir

I understand your concern.

You seem to have typical urinary tract infection.

This is usually caused by gram negative bacteria.

Before you fly make sure your infection is cleared.

This infection has to be treated with the highly sensitive antibiotics detected(one of the seven).

The typical course is 5-7 days of antibiotic usage.

This threpay will completelly clear the organisms.

The choice of antibiotics will depend on the doctor's choice.

Post your further queries if any.

Thank you.
